Mark, thanks for the reply I tried as you suggested and ran depmod. Here's what I got then.
primvr2p:~ # depmod -a depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.21-273-default/kernel/drivers/scsi/IBMtape.o I don't know what this means. Do I need the kernel sources installed also?

It's possible the module requires another module to be loaded first. If so, "depmod -a" to rebuild the dependency files, followed by a "modprobe" command (_not_ insmod) might do the trick. If not, I would say that the module wasn't compiled against the version of the kernel you're running, even though it is labeled as such.
