What can be the reason for "Invalid module format"?
10,811
Module and kernel are not the same version OR, some times, you can get this error if you didn't used the same compiler for modules and kernel.
In your case, you recompiled the kernel and you didn't change/rebuild initrd. The screenshot what you posted now, show us a bad initrd with old modules. You should reboot with the old kernel (if you didn't overwrite it) and rebuild initrd also.
