[ale] insmod problem with new kernel

[ari]

insmod shouldn't need to be updated; it's not part of the code inserted into
the kernel.  it's also not distributed with the kernel.

make sure you're trying to insmod the modules you just built in 2.1.125.
checking over... when you were compiling, did you remember "make modules"?
did you then also remember "make modules_install"?
