[Raspbian-devel] Kernel thoughts

[peter green]

I think i've figured out what is going on with regard to "fiq_fix_enable".

fiq_fix_enable is defined in drivers/usb/host/dwc_otg/dwc_otg_driver.c 
and used by arch/arm/mach-bcm2708/bcm2708.c

AIUI this will work if dwc_otg is compiled in but it will not work if it 
is built as a module and it will not work if it is not built at all.

IIRC your initial kernel did not have dwc_otg built at all. Did you run 
into the error before you added dwc_otg to the configuration? have you 
tried building without the hack patch since you added it to the 
configuration?

I'm currently building with the hack patch in but once I have that built 
and uploaded I plan to try building without the patch.

Also any thoughts on how hard it would be to create a copy of the linux 
source package with a changed source package name and no linux-libc-dev 
package? It would be nice to offer a 3.6 based package as well.
