[Buildroot] I really need some help

The "pf" is for parallel flash and will not work on the EK since it does not have any parallel flash.
You should use "make at91sam9260dfc_defconfig" and a dataflash card for this board.

If you want to use the internal dataflash, then you need to fix U-Boot and at91bootstrap,
but it might be easier to download the binaries from www.linux4sam.org

Is "SuperModem-2.6.22.1" your project name?


For: "atd.c:498:2: error: #error "No mail command specified." error message:

If you do not need the "at" package, you can just disable it in menuconfig.
If you need it, then you need to look at "atd.c" somewhere
in the build_arm_wchar/at-3.1.10 to find out why you get the error message.

You should also ensure that the files 
/etc/shadow
/etc/passwd
/usr/share/udhcpc/default.script

are in your root file system.
