insmod: Invalid module format error

I have open suse kernel kernel 3.1.0-1.2-desktop on which I used kernel source 3.1.10-1.2 downloaded from kernel.org.

The module gets built.
While loading a kernel module I am getting Invalid module format error with description "first_driver: no symbol version for module_layout"

The following are the logs:

Code:

linux-k2kj:/home/rkpsuse/FirstDriver # insmod first_driver.ko 
insmod: error inserting 'first_driver.ko': -1 Invalid module format

linux-k2kj:/home/rkpsuse/FirstDriver # modinfo first_driver.ko 
filename:       first_driver.ko
description:    My First Driver
author:         Emertxe Info. Tech
license:        GPL
srcversion:     C4CCFC5DA59927FA4A479E6
depends:        
vermagic:       3.1.10-1.2-desktop SMP preempt mod_unload modversions 686 

linux-k2kj:/home/rkpsuse/FirstDriver # uname -r
3.1.0-1.2-desktop

dmesg
first_driver: no symbol version for module_layout

I guess this is because of mismatching kernel versions.

Cannot I use kernel source 3.1.10-1.2-desktop on kernel 3.1.0-1.2-desktop?
Where can I get the kernel source for 3.1.0-1.2-desktop

How to resolve this issue?
