Yes, it's toshiba_acpi. It's a module that provides support for a few useful functions on several Toshiba models (not on all, though).
Q: What kernel do you use, currently?
Because: If you use one of the "huge" kernels, this would explain the error message you see, as the huge kernels have just about everything compiled into them. If you use the generic kernel, as suggested in the documentation, you should be able to load the module without the need to recompile your kernel.
As I said, I own an old Toshibal laptop, too, and the only thing I compile on it is the Agere softmodem driver, nothing else. It shouldn't be necessary for your hardware, too.
