That particular line is due to the fact that there was no Module.symvers 
file at the top of the (2.6.x) kernel sources tree when the Comedi 
drivers were built.  Apart from the kernel tainted warning, it doesn't 
seem to cause any harm (at least in my experience).  Some distros 
install this for you, but if it's not there, you have to do a full 
kernel compile to generate it!  (You can do a "make clean" afterwards to 
reclaim the disk space.)

You could try generating the Module.symvers file anyway, then 
reconfigure and rebuild the Comedi drivers from scratch (./configure; 
make clean; make; su -c 'make install') to see if it fixes the problem 
(rmmod all the comedi drivers, then modprobe usbdux, then comedi_config 
...).  I that doubt this would achieve anything apart from getting rid 
of the "tainted" message, but you'd have to reboot the kernel to find out.

I'll let Bernd figure out the rest of it, but AFAICT the remaining dmesg 
lines are normal.
