Instead of using 'insmod' you should be using the 'modprobe' program.
This is because the imm/ppa drivers depend on another module - the
parport module.  Modprobe is smart, and will load the module
dependencies before ppa/imm driver.

So if you have selected parport as a module, that needs to be loaded
first.
