A segfault is likely merely the manifestatiion in user space of a kernel
oops. After all, if insmod segfaulted independently, millions of people
over the world would complain! Look at the output from "dmesg" to confirm
or deny that theory.

If indeed it is an oops, as I suppose, see what you can gather from the
oops itself, if you are care enough to want to know! Usually kernel
oops data should be sent to the author of the subsystem - the author of the 
module - for comment and corrections. You likely have some hardware that
is different from the programming expectation in some way, or just
have some different hardware than the module is aimed at.
