This was fixed as of Tuesday, I think.  Since you probably can't compile
your own kernels yet, I'd wait for Steve's next snapshot (sometime next
week, probably), unless there's someone on the list whose willing to
compile one for you.

BTW, how does the HWDIRECT kernel (i.e. the non-MRG one) fail?  I thought
we had PB ADB support pretty much nailed down....

Later.
