I had exactly the same problem with some other third-party module.
Your module has version 2.6.5-1.358custom, but your currently running
kernel is 2.6.5-1.358, as shows the output from uname -a.
You must build the module against the correct kernel source tree, in
your case this is probably the /lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358/build
