Sorry for asking this silly question:
When I use lsmod to list all the modules, it displays "Tainted: P", and
on my friend's machine it's "Tainted: GF".
I know what "Tainted" mean, but what does "P" or "GF" mean? If there are
others than these two, where can I find a list?
Thanks.

Hi,
you can find informations about 'tainted kernels' at the end of
Documentation/oops-tracing.txt found in any kernel-source.

kernel/panic.c:
/**
* print_tainted - return a string to represent the kernel taint state.
*
* 'P' - Proprietary module has been loaded.
* 'F' - Module has been forcibly loaded.
* 'S' - SMP with CPUs not designed for SMP.
* 'R' - User forced a module unload.
* 'M' - Machine had a machine check experience.
* 'B' - System has hit bad_page.
*
* The string is overwritten by the next call to print_taint().
