When compilling a kernel there is an option you can choose (something
like "module symbols" or "versioning" or something like that) which
will allow modules from different kernels to be loaded. That usually
fixes this type of problem.
The "correct" and "proper" way to handle this is to compile the
modules for 2.4.18-i386, which is the kernel version you are using. I
don't know how to do that.
