OK Here are some more info: with my 2.4 kernel I got the following
dialogs:
fra@arabis:~$ lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
fra@arabis:~$ lsmod.modutils
Kernel requires old insmod, but couldn't run insmod.old: No such file
or directory
fra@arabis:~$ lsmod.old
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
fra@arabis:~$
