If you are running a 2.5 kernel then it seems you didn't install the
module-init-tools correctly. It's supposed to install the newer utils as
modutils, lsmod, insmod etc.. and backups the old modutils as
modprobe.old, lsmod.old, insmod.old and so on.

Either that or you are running a 2.4 kernel, in which case the output is
correct (or so it seems).
