Did you build your new kernel starting with the same options your original kernel was built with? They may be available in /proc/config.gz. They may also be stored under /boot somewhere, as config-kernelname. Kernel settings can drastically alter the way the kernel works so, if you don't build the kernel with the right options, the module won't match the kernel, and the kernel will rightly refuse to load it.

Code:
modprobe config # might not be necessary
gunzip < /proc/config.gz > .config
make menuconfig
