I have had this problem just this weekend. The strangest part is: it worked
before without any problem at all.
I had downloaded the RPM's for RH 7.3, kernel version 2.4.18-3. And it
installed good, I configured everything and all went smoothly.
This weekend the machine needed to reboot. Upon booting I got the kernel
mismatch error, which stated the module was compiled for 2.4.18_I386!
I have absolutely no clue how that happened....
I use the same module on other systems, from which one has had a reboot
without any problem.

Did just that, and everything went well, although I would like to know what
went wrong and why???
