Module acpi_cpufreq not found

After compiling new kernel, I am getting: Module acpi_cpufreq not found

Is this module for Intel Core 2 Duo processors? If so, which option do I need to enable during kernel compilation?

it's 'acpi-cpufreq', not 'acpi_cpufreq' and yes - that should be the module for a Core2Duo.

Well, it was compiled not as module. Is that a problem?

If its not compiled you can't load it. Actually the module is for all intel processors. It works my acer aspire one which has an intel atom processor

I loooked at the .config file and it is compiled, just not as module but into the kernel.
Will that be a problem?

As far as I know, its supposed to run as a module since there's no actual kernel code that will activate it.

I have the module hard coded into the kernel

$ zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i cpufreq
# CPUFreq processor drivers
CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ=y

And it works fine. Obviously, you won't be able to load it as a module if it's hard coded, but you should have the functionality available.
Did you configure any of the scaling governors?

I recompiled the kernel because I was making some other changes, too, and now I compiled it as module. I have not undervolted it yet but should get around to it in few days time.
It is somewhat a problem, though, that PHCtools do not work on Arch due to incompatibility with python3.

Python3 is the default in Arch Linux now but python2 is still installed and you can tell a python script to use python2 instead.

Use that as header:

#!/usr/bin/env python2

Arch Linux
