There is actually no /lib/modules directory on the image at all.  We tried to install the linux-libc-headers package but it failed and I think the reason is we are using the 3.14 kernel and the package is 3.19.  Any help would be appreciated!

linux-libc-headers is kernel APIs for userland. The modules are generated as individual packages during kernel build. You can choose which modules you want to package
default it none. if you want all default modules to be included in image you can add

MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS = " kernel-modules”

to you machine.conf

Otherwise if you know which ones your system needs then you can add it to IMAGE_INSTALL individually.

IMAGE_INSTALL += "kernel-module-<name-of-module>”
