init_module: Operation not permitted

[Neil Golstein <neilevid@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been using the Promise drivers on 2.2.19 but I have been trying 
to get a driver working in the 2.4 kernels.  The Promise drivers for the 
RedHat 2.4 kernels have been unstable for me, possibly because I have 2 
arrays on one card or too many scsi adapters?  My arrays are sdc and 
sdd.  Any I tried this new open source driver but the full message I get is:

init_module: Operation not permitted
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, 
including invalid IO or IRQ parameters

Note I have to set append="ide2=0 through ide9=0" in lilo.conf or else 
the kernel hangs on booting, does this have something to do with it?
