Does /usr/include/asm and /usr/include/linux point to
linux/include/linux and linux/include/asm?
^^^^^This should be the top of the Linux source directory.

If it doesn't this should explain why you are being told that the
versions are different. The header files the modules ask for come from
a different place. I think that one of the header files (version.h?)
gets fiddled with each time you compile.

There could be other reasons but this is the one that came to mind.
