Okay, so 'uname -r' yields 2.4.19 and modprobe does exist (wasn't running it as root...) but 'modprobe apm' yields the response modprobe: Can't locate module apm. Now I have apm installed and it's in the file /etc/modules BUT I cannot find a compiled file apm.o in /lib/modules/2.4.19 or any of its subdirectories... SO WHAT NOW?
