Actually, a colleague of mine told me that this issue has been observed
before on machines with mismatching kernel version and kernel headers
version.

Can you verify that:

1. You have installed the kernel headers
   If not, installing the "linux-headers" package should do.

2. You don't have mismatching kernel and headers versions
