Hi, Basically, it boils down to that you need to compile this module with the same compiler used to build your kernel. If this is a third party module, then you'll need to either get one built with the right compiler, or you'll need to recompile it yourself if you can get the source. If you've recompiled your kernel since you install the OS, you may not have recompiled this module as well. In that case, you should reconfigure your kernel to include this module in the build (modules are only built if you tell the configuration program to include them) and rebuild.
