When I refer to "the wiki", I mean:
http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/RamdiskRescue

Do not use instructions or files from other sources unless you know
what you are doing. They will _not_ work.

If the files are all in their correct places, and the module still
won't load, I would suggest that the most likely reason for this
error is that you are using a kernel other than the one provided for
Ramdisk Rescue.

Good luck.

Marcus.
