Can you help to give a clue?  Thanks in advance!
Please work with the vendor that is forcing you to use such an old and
obsolete kernel version, they are the only ones that can help you out
here.

Also look in your kernel log, it will show errors when loading modules
as to what went wrong.

good luck,
