Huh. How can I do so without being a subscriber of the kernel

Looks promising:
./2.6.12-EHCItest/linux-2.6.12-rc1/drivers/usb/host/ehci-sched.c.rej

./2.6.12-EHCItest/linux-2.6.12-rc1/drivers/usb/host/ehci.h.rej

VERSION = 2

PATCHLEVEL = 6

SUBLEVEL = 12

EXTRAVERSION =-rc1-ce
uname -r

2.6.12-rc1-ce
Seems I've been successful compiling and installing the

kernel. Thanks for the help!

Well, the xruns are bad, but I'm happy to have the patched

kernel running, regardless that the bugs are still

 Thanks a lot & best regards
