I must thank you for your insight into this problem. Based on your 
suggestions, I've modified one line and added another, and the damn 
thing boots properly.

Also noticed an earlier (January) post on this list from you, which 
dealt with an isp0 device on sbus. Of course as per the original issue, 
the fact isp devices can be on either bus probably explains why it's not 
there. ;)

Yes, a new method would be ideal. I'm not much a kernel hacker, but if 
I've a bit of spare time I'll see what I can't do.

Thanks again!
