Slackware modules

What folder are slackware modules in? Here is the problem below I am having.

Code:

root@tpad:/lib/modules/2.4.29/kernel# ls
arch  crypto  drivers  fs  lib  net  pIIIcache.o  sound
root@tpad:/lib/modules/2.4.29/kernel# modprobe pIIIcache
modprobe: Can't locate module pIIIcache
root@tpad:/lib/modules/2.4.29/kernel#

jac0b,

To load a module that's not yet added to the module database, you can use insmod /path/to/module.o {.ko for 2.6.x}.

modprobe is used to load modules in the /lib/modules/`uname -r`/ tree.
The catch being that you have to run depmod -a to update the database.
