That is insmod for 2.4 kernels. You need module-init-tools, which is for 2.6 
and compatible with 2.4. Search for any 2.4 to 2.6 migration guide (even 
Documentation/Changes in the kernel sources) to find out more about this. It 
would happen even with a 2.6 host, if you don't install module-init-tools.

The fact that the file is empty is a bug, however it does not create problems 
in most cases.
