Single-user mode mount the root partition "read-only" and
does not mount any other partitions.  At the command prompt,
run "fsck"; if everything is clean, run "mount -a".  Then you will
have all your /etc/fstab filesystems mounted normally, and
can perform this operation.

I might recommend some action besides "rm" on a kernel
module, though (mv?).
