If you look at the kernel messages it might give you more information. It might be a different problem, but mine was wanting IPv6, and refused to load without it. This type of error reminds me of trying to run FreeBSD binaries on Linux - you run ./bsd_app and it says 'No such file or directory' which is less than helpful, while I generally find FreeBSD error messages to be a lot more informative. Would it be possible for this message to be reworded to be more helpful? The file does indeed exist, it's just that the system cannot load it. Or, if a module fails to load, maybe prompt the user to look at the kernel messages for any error messages?
