$ which insmod modprobe
/sbin/insmod
/sbin/modprobe

$ pacman -Q module-init-tools
module-init-tools 3.10-1

Surprisingly, inserting the module with insmod had worked!

$ insmod /lib/modules/2.6.30-ARCH/kernel/fs/isofs/isofs.ko
$

And the DVD mounted just fine. Modprobe, however, still throws the
same error. I tried to make it more verbose:

$modprobe -v isofs
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.30-ARCH/kernel/lib/zlib_inflate/zlib_inflate.ko
WARNING: Error inserting zlib_inflate
(/lib/modules/2.6.30-ARCH/kernel/lib/zlib_inflate/zlib_inflate.ko):
Invalid module format
FATAL: Error inserting isofs
