Looks more closely, check that there are no extra characters at the end
of the "options" lines. I've seen this happen recently on a laptop of a
student here at CCRMA, the load fails because it tries to load the
module with extra "unrecognized" parameters (check the contents
of /var/log/messages for the exact error message).
