okay,i have resolved this problem;
i used

Code:

dmesg

and received some message as follows:

Code:

...
sctp: Unknown symbol ipv6_chk_addr
sctp: Unknown symbol ipv6_getsockopt
...

so,i used

Code:

insmod /lib/modules/2.6.16/kernel/net/ipv6/ipv6.ko
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.16/kernel/net/sctp/sctp.ko

and got no error.
lol >.<

aha,but what u use before? not "insmod"? a few ones get the same problems just like yours, but with "insmod", so i check the offical doc in 2.6.19, and found what i have posted. so maybe this will help for developmemt on sctp: http://lksctp.sourceforge.net/INSTALL and http://lksctp.sourceforge.net/ (offical site) ENJOY!
