A scan of the web seems to back this up.  One post suggests:

[cite]
This occurs when there is a mismatch in the kernel header version that is included and the version of the kernel u are running

What is ur kernel version and what is the path of the kernel header include files ?
[/cite]

If you do find that the header files are older than the kernel then there is a debian package that provides kernel headers, so fixing this should be easy enough.  Apt suggests: linux-kernel-headers

Once more unto the machine, dear friend, or stuff its USB port with chewing gum.
