This bug is still present in 005-2. It's fixed by adding this to the modprobe line:
|| grep "$governor" /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_available_governors > /dev/null 2>&1
Hope it helps

Now that I gave it a second thought, it'd be even better to do the grep before the modprobe....

why this bug is still not closed and fixed !?

it is even still needed because performance governor is (now ?) compiled into the kernel.
so when i set governor to performance and restart cpufreq i got a:
:: Setting cpufreq governing rules [BUSY]
:: Cannot load governor module 'performance' [FAIL]

please fix this !
