This is a kernel build issue. Your kernel is configured to check for
various setting to ensure it can use a module you ask it to load. You
failed to provide these information. My guess is that your kernel root
directory is missing the Modules.symvers file, generated during the
kernel build.

For code reference, see kernel/module.c:check_version().
