Well the errors suggest that the module might not have been built at
all. Posting this without including the errors, or even reading them,
was a bit of a waste of time.
Anyway, the "Can't locate module..." bit means that ld doesn't know
where the module is. Have you tried running "depmod -a" after
building? You may also want to try "insmod
/path/to/module/<modulename>".
Without the error message, there's not really a lot anyone who hasn't
used these can tell you.
