| There was a release of Ubuntu in some alphaversion for SAM460 last autumn if i recall correctly!
Hower, now Ubuntu is up to 13.04. Does anyone know if there's some news regarding newer versions of Ubuntu on SAM? Or a more "full" version of the one the were relased - IE words from Acube or other devs? |

nope, you managed to install 11.04 packages on an old kernel. You can't update the kernel as long as you don't compile it yourself with the Sam patches, drivers and modules. Unless you had access to acube's ressources, but i doubt they ever compiled a kernel for 11.04/

Pre compiled Kernel obtained from here .
http://www.locati.it/mario/sam460/squeeze/#kernel
To go beyond 11.04 you have to boot with the newer kernel
Once you have install the modules for the newer kernel on your Linux partition
