You might try restoring your original kernel, and just installing the
kernel headers, to allow you to compile. You'll probably need to
-I/usr/src/linux/include. If you're compiling using make, try 'export
CFLAGS=-I/usr/src/linux/include' before running make.
When you build your own kernel, there's an option for whether you want
the kernel to set version information on module symbols. The way that
was set when you rolled your kernel could be what's giving you problems.
