Most probably the sources being used by the cluster for building packages on head are a little different from yours, so the kernel module is not in sync. You will need to build the kernel module yourself to actually match your kernel sources. It's not really a problem or a bug, it's how it works. On head there is no warranty about the KBI. This cannot happen on releases and stable because the KBI is not going to change there. -- Guido Falsi <mad@madpilot.net>
