linux-kernel removed from cc:, this is definitely a newbies question.
l-k is for development, not for questions from beginners in kernel
programming.

Declaring __NO_VERSION__ before module.h suppresses the definition of
the kernel version.  insmod is quite correct, the module contains no
version number.  BTW, never (repeat *NEVER*) explicitly include
modversions.h.  If you have to do that then your compile process is
broken.
