If you encounter the following error when trying to load the acpi-cpufreq driver, there is the possibility that your Dell server BIOS setting is not configured properly.

Reboot and you should be able to load the acpi-cpufreq driver successfully.For more information on Dell Power Management, please go to this link and look for BIOS based P-state management.
