I am trying to evaluate a Atmel 9260EK board using the pre-built binaries from Linux4SAM and am having some problems.

When I initially boot the system, I see modprobe errors saying that modprobe can't find a 2.6.22 directory. Also, when I try to use ipkg to add more capabilities to the OS, I get a similar error in that ipkg can't find the 2.6.22 directory. Looking in the /lib/modules/ directory there is a a 2.6.20 directory but no 2.6.22 one. So the error is valid.

I have tried both renaming the 2.6.20 directory and creating a 2.6.22. Both methods seem to fix the boot error wrt modprobe and allow ipkg to install ipkgs. I was able to get minicom installed and working by doing this, but can't seem to get ppp to function. I seem to be able to install the ppp and ppp-dialup modules, but when I try to execute ppp I get an error that says that the kernel needs ppp support. I then tried to download the kernel-module-ppp-generic stuff but can't see anything using modprobe. Looking at the listing the ppp-generic ipkg has 2.6.20 listed as the version so maybe it is installing into the 2.6.20 directory. If that is true, how do I get modprobe to install modules from the 2.6.20 directory?

One other question. After using the "ipkg update" command i then tried to do an upgrade using the "ipkg upgrade" command. Every package that ipkg tries to upgrade gets a "server returned error 404: http/1.0 404 not found" error.

Thanks for any help or suggestions anyone can give me.
