This is just the source code for that module. The actual module file should 
be at /lib/modules/kernel-version/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-floppy.o

modprobe ide-floppy

Nope, I'm guessing you're running RedHat? I'm not sure with RedHat. I run 
Debian. With debian you just edit /etc/modules and stick in the module name 
and options, one per line. 

Maybe someone more familiar with how RedHat does things can help you out.
