The sis900.o file is not recognized as a proper module.
Where did it come from?  Was it designed for a 2.2.16 kernel?
Was it designed for x86 computers?  Was it always named sis900.o 
or did you rename it from something else?

Try the following and see what it says:
--------------------------------------
file /lib/modules/2.2.16/misc/sis900.o
--------------------------------------
