It just means that it is looking for acpi_cpufreq.ko in /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq.ko > The file could be there and there is a configuration file that points to it. In my case, since I have an AMD Athlon CPU, the driver should be powernow-k7 which is not the same as cpufreq.ko and it reports this error.
