I have no idea why they doesn't match, but as I/we use debian, I'm not so
familiar with the Suse internals. Did you already check for an Suse-update.
Maybe there's a Suse mailing list for stuff like this? I added Suse to the
subject, hopefully Lars (lmb) has a filter for it ;-)
Well, getting rid of the version mismatch would be probably easy for me, I
just would compile the drbd userspace tools, replace drbdsetup with the
recompiled version and finally I would compile a new kernel and new drbd
module. You may also keep your current kernel and only recompile the drbd
module, by fetching the src-rpm for your current kernel, configuring it (make
dep for 2.4.) and compiling the drbd module with exactly the same gcc version
as the kernel was compiled with (cat /proc/version should tell you). Finally
you should be able to replace
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/some_where/drbd.{o or ko}
with the new version.
Probably I have forgotten something, so you should know what you are doing!

Please note the this is deprecated for the current version, please read
upgrade_0.7.0_to_0.7.1.txt from the current drbd sources.

It should be without '=', whats the exact error message?
