8 The message means one of two things usually:
9
10 1. You are building the module against kernel sources (or
11 configuration) that do not match your running kernel.
12
13 2. You are using a different version of gcc to compile the module than
14 you did for your kernel.
15
16 In both cases, the best solution is to build and install a fresh
17 kernel from the kernel sources.
