Erik is right, see the $ on the prompt.
pradeeps@segphault:~$ modprobe abcd
FATAL: Module abcd not found.
pradeeps@segphault:~$
You get error inserting $module_name when you do have module under
your /lib/modules/* i.e
pradeeps@segphault:~$ modprobe video1394
FATAL: Error inserting video1394
(/lib/modules/2.6.24-22-generic/kernel/drivers/ieee1394/video1394.ko):
Operation not permitted
