Well lsmod says it's in use:

   Module                  Size  Used by    
   af_packet               6152   1  (autoclean)
   lockd                  41756   0  (autoclean) (unused)
   sunrpc                 57816   0  (autoclean) [lockd]
   rtl8139                11168   1 
   unix                   11352  11  (autoclean)

So now to find where it's being aliased.

Re-booting isn't an issue, it's more that the machine in question 
doesn't appear to have the kernel sources installed.
