According to the documentation '-f' should force the loading of a
module if there is a version mismatch. It doesn't.

There is no 'user-error'. The modules that are to be installed during
the initrd process are modules copied by my script from the
new module directory structure. The modules are found, they are
copied, and, during the boot process `insmod` attempts to install them.
If the kernel version number is 2.4.0, everything works fine.
If the kernel version number is 2.4.0-test9, `insmod` fails to find
the kernel version number ...
The kernel version number was changed ONLY by getting rid of "test-9"
in the Makefile and doing:
cp .config ..
make distclean
cp ../.config .
make oldconfig
make dep
make bzImage
make modules
make modules_install
In this manner, nothing was changed except the kernel version number.
The initrd script for making a floppy to try to boot from initrd is:
#!/bin/bash
#
# This installs the kernel on a system that requires an initial
# RAM Disk and with an initial SCSI driver.
