The warning about "kernel-module version mismatch" is expected,
and always is in the log file. It is not a problem or an indication
of a problem.
The real problem is that _M_max_num_sessions is not set properly.
This is because max_sessions is malfunctioning. This is a really
simple plain C program. I can't explain why it fails on your
system. But this is what you can do:
Remove the /opt/win4lin/bin/max_sessions file and replace it with
a small script that has these two lines:
echo 1
exit 0
Make it executable. Then run /opt/win4lin/drivers/tools/loadem
to load the Win4Lin modules.
But it looks like other binaries are malfunctioning in a similar way.
I would guess that there is some library that is damaged.
