USB booting :: USB error, tried searching.

From those links, it looks like that's just a kernel workaround for a bad bios.

If you can, try to change the assignment of irqs for your usb port(s).

If not, you could always test out those patches by recompiling the kernel.

I know a little bit about IRQs, but how does someone change the IRQs for DSLinux?

Also, what's the best way to start patching the kernel?

Your BIOS is system-specific, and needs to be configured before you boot into dsl.

Check out some kernel recompiling threads if you haven't done it before.

Is the root of the USB problems in this thread caused by DSLinux using the older kernel instead of the newer kernel?
