This seems to indicate that you've compiled against the wrong kernel
headers/source or maybe you didn't clean the source tree and linked to
some stale object code.

Are you certain that things were compiled correctly?

Did you compile against against the headers or the actual kernel source?

Obviously the modules have symbols that cannot be resolved by the
running kernel. I would take a look at the build and make sure it's
correctly finding what it needs.

I took a quick peek at the code (version 0.11) and noticed this in the
Makefile...

KERNEL_SRC = /lib/modules/$(KERNEL_VERSION)/build
KERNEL_HEADERS = $(KERNEL_SRC)/include

What does 

]$ ls -l /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build

point to?
