Yes, it is the sid kernel, and the module exists. When running the script
as root it is the same. lsmod shows that the msr module is not loaded. If
I load it manually with modprobe it appears to load without errors, but
the output of the checker-script does not change.

I admit I don't know anything about msr, is this
possibly an Intel specific thing?
