Linux header and source files were there, but in another directory and I had to make a link
ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-bifferboard build


I found the problem trying to make a Hello World Kernel module from tutorial. 
It is inserting of Kernel module that gives the error. 

I have found in internet and installed package
linux-headers-2.6.32-bifferboard

but linux version with uname-r is
2.6.32.2-bifferboard
 

[ 7184.245109] hello_1: version magic '2.6.32-bifferboard mod_unload 486 ' 
should be '2.6.32.2-bifferboard mod_unload 486 4KSTACKS '

How could you change the original 2.6.32 version to 2.6.32.2 version and is it 
possible to change back or do something else. 



Dear Graham,

I flashed a kernel image
vmlinuz-2.6.30.5-bifferboard-ipipe
from biffer webpage instead of your file
vmlinuz-2.6.32.2
Also use Debian distro from biffewebsite.
Now Linux version is 2.6.30.5-bifferboard-ipipe
and insertion of modules works.

I could compile and install Easycap and WLAN RTL8188 stick 
kernel modules.

Thanks for your comments.

Lets stay in touch,
Janis
