modprobe nvidia gives "no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted"



I have some problems installing nvidia. i woudl be grateful for any help

I am using the vanilla kernel 2.6.5-1-386 Sarge. I installed nvidia
following the very nice instructions in
/usr/share/doc/nvidia-kernel-source/README.Debian

However when I try to modprobe nvidia I get the following error
message:

nissefisken# modprobe struct_module                                
FATAL: Module struct_module not found.

nissefisken# modprobe struct-module
FATAL: Module struct_module not foun

nissefisken# lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia               2068648  0 

nissefisken# dmesg 
[snip]
nvidia: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted.

If I try to start X with the nvidia module my GLX is not initialized:
