[solved] could not load module 'processor'

Since the recent upgrade to kernel 2.6.20.7-1 the acpi kernel modules have to be loaded manually. Thats all good, i don't have a problem with that. On my desktop I load  'button', 'processor'.

But since the upgrade to 2.6.20.7-2 the module 'processor' disappeared.

> /lib/modules/2.6.20-ARCH/kernel/drivers/acpi$ ls
ac.ko  asus_acpi.ko  battery.ko  button.ko  dock.ko  fan.ko  hotkey.ko  i2c_ec.ko  ibm_acpi.ko  sbs.ko  toshiba_acpi.ko  video.ko

and
modprobe processor gives me:

FATAL: Module processor not found.

Is that normal or what happened here?

I see you are from Germany, so have a look at this:

Translation:

Since kernel 2.6.20.7-2 the modules thermal and processor are directly integrated into the kernel and must/could not be loaded separatly.

Re: [solved] could not load module 'processor'

Thanks for the info. Its a relief to know its no bug.

I just checked the ACPI-Modules wiki page and it got updated, confirming that thermal and processor are built into the kernel again:
