`uname -r` shows the currently executing kernel version. The version
of the kernel you compiled is in the top of the Makefile (first 3 lines).
To see if you are lucky, you can "force" the module loading with
`insmod -f ttime.o`.
FYI, it looks like you thought you installed a new kernel after you
compiled it, but didn't.
