Its lindows.  No self-respeecting debian release would put out something
that didn't let you use the source.

It has nothing to do with a version conflict.  You've built a module that
needs symbols that don't exist in the kernel.  You need to build the
kernel at the same time as the module.  Or get a pre-compiled kernel that
includes that module.  THose are your choices.  Well, not using lindows
might help too.
