a tainted module isn't, in itself a problem ... it is just a warning that the module isn't open source. It should still load and work.

The fact that the module won't load is a problem. The one we need to solve

.

Are there any errors in dmesg:

dmesg | less

or in the syslog ...

less /var/log/messages

after the module fails to load?
