Thanks. The ABI of the module you built doesn't match the ABI of the
installed kernel. Here's how I'd finish from there:
scripts/config --disable DEBUG_INFO; # makes the build a lot smaller
make deb-pkg; # optionally with -j<num> for parallel build
dpkg -i ../<name of package>; # as root
http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-common-tasks.html has more
details. FWIW all ideas for making that document more useful would be
welcome --- making it easy for users to build a custom kernel is very
important since it is what makes communication with upstream possible. :)

Yes, no problem. When time is short, we can wait --- as long as it is
clear how long to expect for a reply, waiting doesn't interfere much
with other work.
