Compilation problems

[ionmich@mail.gr]

I run Caldera e2.4. The kernel does not provide USB support for
my scanner. I downloaded kernel 2.2.18 which does support USB,
compiled it, installed it, then rebooted. Everything appeared to
run normally but I could not connect to the scanner. I checked
the boot-up errors and found,"......./usb-uhci.o:couldn't find
the kernel version the module was compiled for." Just to make
sure I deleted the entire linux2.2.18 source directory, untarred
the source files again, re-configured, re-compiled, and
re-installed. I checked that the file date on usb-uhci.o had
changed and re-booted. I got the same error message. 

Can someone explain why, and how to get around the problem?
