Devin,

The build process was not complete indeed. Dropping FiredTV made it successful 
- the rest of the story is positive; everything running smooth.

Many thanks!

Luc.

A couple of quick things:

Your build doesn't look complete.  Did you manually run "make
menuconfig" and pick whatever modules you believed were relevant?  If
so, then don't do that - do a fresh checkout, and only unset the
firedtv module.

Also, please provide the dmesg output after the bootup, so we can see
if the driver loaded at all.
