1. lsmod shows loadable modules that are loaded.
cpufreq has not been compiled as a module, you have compiled it *into* the kernel ( the "=y" in the config file). Therefore lsmod will not show it. It's not a loadable module, it's part of the kernel.
If I look in the same cpufreq dir you have been looking at in FC4, I won't find a module there either, for the same reason. But I'm running powernowd, which uses cpufreq.
2. Great work by the way getting this far :=)
BTW, check that 'make mrproper' - it will delete your config file, meaning you may have not compiled a dsl-configured kernel (which doesn't mean it might not run anyway, but it might not take the long line boot params and it might do other things differently). I don't think you need do make mrproper if compiling from fresh sources.
Also, I think patches are supposed to be applied *after* you run make oldconfig, else 'make oldconfig' could erase any changes the patches might have made to the .config file (if they do).
3. Instead of remastering it might be easier to find a small free partition and do a traditional hard drive install of dsl. You might fry less cds.
Hope these ideas are helpful.
