[Voyage-linux] Voyage and USB?

[Robert Haskins]

I finally was able to test ubuntu-4.10 (full distribution booting off of 
a hard drive) on my Mini-ITX system, and just as expected, the USB stuff 
works fine. However, I still get the over-current error message when I 
boot the voyage kernel you built for me with USB support. This leads me 
to believe that this *must* be a problem with what's being left out of 
the voyage kernel. Or am I wrong?

I think what I'll do next is attempt a kernel build with the full 2.6.8 
kernel config/driver set, hoping that it'll fit on a 128MB flash with 
the regular Voyage distribution. If it doesn't, I'll probably invest in 
a large enough flash to accept a full 2.6.8 config/driver set, then 
strip it down from there until I figure out what is missing.

Does this sound reasonable? I've looked at the dmesg/lsmod output, and 
nothing jumps out at me. I'm starting to run out of options here....

Thanks for your help!
