2.6 kernel under Debian 'woody'

From: http://marc.herbert.free.fr/linux/linux2.6_for_woody.txt

The mechanism for dynamically loading kernel modules has been rewritten between 2.4 and 2.6. As a consequence, the former "modutils" tools (insmod, modprobe,...) are not compatible with 2.6 You need the
new debian package "module-init-tools" instead.

Of course, you could always use a monolithic kernel...
