Did you install the modules with 'make modules_install'?

You should use ftdi_sio.ko with insmod (notice the suffix, .ko instead of .o).
Better is to use /sbin/modprobe, it handles dependencies etc. correctly. Like
this:
# /sbin/modprobe ftdi_sio
should do the job, after you have installed all the compiled modules.
Hope this helps,
