What does it mean by :module will taint the kernel. Is it because Module is not supporing the running kernel?
No, it's because the module is not released under the GPL license. Kernel hackers were bored of bug reports concerning bugs on non-free modules, so they added a tag in each module that contains their license. When your kernel oops, it says whether the kernel is tainted or not.
