Tim,
The kernel 2.2.12 form mips' ftp site has no modules support at all. The
problem may be coming from the binutils bugs that were used to create
the kernel image, which is 2.8.1 which reportedly (at least from our
company) do not produce usable 'insmod'. It is not 5Kc - related stuff,
we have several boards with such processors (including Malta and Atlas)
and all of them exibited module problems with "old" toolchain (binutils
2.8.1 - egcs 1.0.3a - glibc 2.0.6).
Newer kernel 2.4.x is also available from mips' ftp site, but we haven't
checked it out yet.
