I was able to build and install appletalk.ko under 2.6.18-53.1.4.
What do you see with:
/sbin/modinfo /lib/modules/2.6.18-53.1.4.el5/extra/appletalk.ko
Does the vermagic agree with your running kernel? Also, where did you
get the source for appletalk? Is that the stuff from net/appletalk in
your kernel's source tree?
Another option may be to follow the wiki:
