There are also a flurry of seemingly non-fatal USB errors in the boot
output, including complaints about the USB root device, which eventually
go away and root mounts successfully..

In the end neither filemon.ko nor uftdi.ko get loaded, but both are
present with dates matching the kernel.

The simplest problem seems to be the failure to update the userland
version. Git seems to run and reports no errors, git reset --hard
didn't change anything.

Any suggestions welcome. At this poing progress seems to be stuck.

Thanks for reading,
