You probably don't need to do that. modprobe and insmod while whine
about the module, but if you use insmod -f on it, it'll probably work
fine.

Probably /etc/lilo.conf. You can have multiple kernels mentioned
there, so edit it and rerun lilo.
(However, I'd try insmod -f first. It'll probably work. It seems to
for our Dell Inspiron 7500s, anyway, which use what I presume is the
same module.)
