cpufrequtils modules [solved]

I'm trying to set up cpufrequtils on my x86_64 Arch install. Previously I had it working fine on an i686 install.

First I try modprobe acpi:

$ sudo modprobe acpi-cpufreq
FATAL: Error inserting acpi_cpufreq (/lib/modules/2.6.31-ARCH/kernel/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/acpi-cpufreq.ko): No such device

So I try loading the AMD modules, but they don't seem to exist:

$ sudo modprobe powernow-k6
FATAL: Module powernow_k6 not found.

Doing a pacman -Ql cpufrequtils doesn't show any of the frequency-scaling modules, where are those supposed to come from? And I think the kernel was on 2.6.30 when I left i686, has something changed between .30 and .31?

[EDIT]
Whoops, I posted too soon. The modules for frequency scaling are present and I needed to load powernow-k8. And, FWIW, the kernel26 package provides the scaling governors.

(You can leave this for others to find or a mod can delete it.)
