Hi Michael,

You've just lost your bet! The issue you are seeing is not due to the
atl1e kmod but due to a (Red Hat) error with the module-init-tools
package for EL5.5 (RH / CentOS / SL).

All you will need to do is take a copy of the bug-fixed
module-init-tools from the same ELRepo repository from which you
obtained the atl1e kmod package and then install them both at the same
time.

Alan.
