It could be that you compiled against a different tree than 
you are trying to use the modules with. Linux modules are 
(by default) compiled against a specific kernel.

BTW, may be there could be sanity checks in the makefile, eg:
(for dvb-kernel/build-2.4/Makefile):

KDIRRELEASE := $(shell grep UTS_RELEASE $(KDIR)/include/linux/version.h | 
sed 's/.*\"\(.*\)\".*/\1/')

sanitycheck:
	@test $(KDIRRELEASE) = $(KERNELRELEASE) || echo "Error: expected tree for 
$(KERNELRELEASE), got $(KDIRRELEASE)"

That would also catch if you have an old .version and want to compile 
against something else.
