Bug#258979: Bug#279718: modprobe: FATAL: Error inserting apm

[Dan Jacobson <jidanni@jidanni.org>]

H> I am curious to know what is trying to insert these modules.
H> Are they in the initrd image, or are the listed in /etc/modules and
H> /etc/init.d/modutils is trying to insert them? Or both? 
$ grep -v \# /etc/modules
af_packet
$ ls /etc/init.d/mod*
/etc/init.d/module-init-tools
H> Why do you have the apm module insterted on a system that has ACPI?
I don't know. All I know is shutdown -h is how I am supposed to power down.
H> Where are you seeing "FATAL" ?
H> In the logs telling you that modprobe failed?
