Yep.  Loading it by hand on my T41 produces:

# modprobe -v ibm_acpi
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1447_FC4/kernel/drivers/acpi/ibm_acpi.ko
ibm_acpi: Using generic hotkey driver
FATAL: Error inserting ibm_acpi 
(/lib/modules/2.6.12-1.1447_FC4/kernel/drivers/acpi/ibm_acpi.ko): No such 
device

The old kernel is still there.  When you see the GRUB spalsh screen at 
boot, press any key.  Then you'll get a selector for all the kernels you 
have.
