how can insertion of one module deletesother modules

Masters,

I have inserted a linux module which controlls the bandwidth of LAN . Just when I insmod'ed kernel panicked. When restarted I am stunned to find out that many of my other modules are missing. How can insertion of one module removes other modules . I use 2.6.9 kernel on a redhat 3.4.3 version.

The module i inserted did worked well in 2.4 kernel. I tried to insert this same module in to kernel 2.6 expecting to see some error. I never expected that I would loss some modules. I am using kernel threading in the module and i have heard kernel threading for 2.4 and 2.6 are different. But i didnt expect it would eat my modules. Can any one tell me what is the reason behind me losing my modules.
Thanking you .

The other modules are MISSING, or they simply have not been loaded? Did you boot into single-user mode? Is the new module added to a config file or would you insert it manually?

There are likely big differences in kernels between 2.4 and 2.6, which is why your module won't load.
