I added your request to our feature queue. I'll try to put the module in the next release.

I am looking at building a camera server with the distribution but to do so I will need a number of other modules. Is it possible to build your own modules with a 2.6.18 system and if it is, are there any quirks?

Hi,

You can download our kernel source tree from ftp.imedialinux.com and compile any kernel modules you need. Then just move them to iMedia and load and you are done.
If you want to load them automatically at boot time, create a script in /etc/rcS.d directory ( take a look there how to load our drivers ) it should be pretty easy to do this.

PS. Config files for every architecture can be found in Configs directory in kernel source archive.
