It works here.
i've a debian distro, i apt-get'ed module-init-tools. Man modprobe says:
BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY
This version of insmod is for kernels 2.5.48 and above. If it
detects a kernel with support for old-style modules (for which much of
the work was done in userspace), it will attempt to run insmod.modu-
tils in its place, so it is completely transparent to the user.
diego@estel:~$ ls -l /sbin/insmod*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5072 2003-06-15 12:27 /sbin/insmod
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 359 2003-03-06 15:50 /sbin/insmod_ksymoops_clean
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 95372 2003-03-06 15:50 /sbin/insmod.modutils
Looking at the size, insmod.modutils seems the 2.4 insmod loader.
