That's nice. If you want more than the catharsis which comes from
sharing your problems with the rest of us, you might want to include the
relevant details - such as all of the bootup messages which would indicate
the driver you're using + revision, the contents of /proc/version which
also includes the 'C' compiler you're trying to use,
