I looked on the net, but didn't understand.
It means that the kernel under which fuse finds itself running is a pre-emptible kernel whereas the module was built for a non-pre-emptible kernel. (Or perhaps vice versa). SMP, preempt, 686, REGPARM, 4KSTACKS, gcc-3.4 are all options for the kernel chosen at the time the kernel was built. Any module that is built outside the kernel tree should be built with exactly the same kernel configuration otherwise it is likely to fail. In other words the module and the kernel are incompatible.
