the problem is that the kernel on your system is slightly different
from the kernel on which I built the package. This might come from
a different Ubuntu distribution (KUbuntu, XUbuntu etc.) or from an
updated kernel. The kernel on which I built the package is
2.6.24-16-generic which was in the plain Ubuntu I installed shortly
after the launch. You can find out your kernel version by starting
a terminal and typing

uname -r

or by looking at the files in your /boot directory. If you can
tell me the exact version of your kernel I'll see whether I can
get that kernel and build a new package which should match your
kernel.

An alternative would be to build ScramDisk-1.3 yourself from the
sources. But you have to install many development tools in order to
do so. There is some guidance for that in the ScramDisk documentation
and I offer my support if you choose this option.

Best regards
