I'm confused on this.  I have cpuspeed installed - this contains no
nodules.  It only has an executable and a startup script.  What has this
to do with a kernel change?

I did try installing the rpm and /sbin/modprobe powernow-k8 resulted in:
FATAL: Error inserting powernow_k8
(/lib/modules/2.6.18-128.1.1.el5/kernel/arch/x86_64/kernel/cpufreq/powernow-k8.ko):
No such device
