Try:
a) running dmesg after the insmod, IIRC you might see undefined
symbols - these will be in modules which you havn't loaded up yet.
b) using "modprobe" rather then insmod (which will load dependencies)
normally modules will be in /lib/modules/`uname -r`, and "depmod -a"
is run to build a file with details of the depencies - which modprobe
uses... so you might have to do this by hand in your case.
