ACPI in kernel

trying to run moprobe acpi
i get
FATAL: Error inserting acpi (/lib/modules/2.6.8.1/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi.ko): No such device

does this mean i havent got acpi in my kernel or is this simple because i got acpi=off in grub file

if this means i havent got acpi in kernel is there someway to egt it with out recompilling the kernel

Re: ACPI in kernel

Hi Blaster:

You can find all the relevant kernel configuration information in:

/boot/kconfig26

So, grep'ing for 'ACPI', you get the following entries, some commented out, most compiled into the kernel, some compiled as modules:

kconfig26:# Power management options (ACPI, APM)
kconfig26:# ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support
