"My problem was that I didn't know how to load the cpufreq modules, so I just built them directly into the kernel, along with ACPI and APM stuff."

That's a possibility. Or you try out which is the correct module manually, and on success, add it to /etc/modules. 
If your ACPI insists on being buggy, you may try to go along with APM (old version of powermanagement, will miss many features).
