this cryptic "Re0991a46" part of the symbol tell me, that you compiled the 
module with option "Set version information on all module symbols" ( found
in kernel configuration part "Loadable module support" ) where
   1. the module has an other version than kernel actually running 
   2. the running kernel was compiled without said option

hope this helps ...
