I ran the pathcin.sh script to set this up. Below is first error, which is 2.4 - 2.5 related (MINOR() and kdev_t stuff). arm-linux-gcc -Wp,-MD,./.mtdchar.o.d -D__KERNEL__ -I/home/kyle/handheld/homebase/kernel/linux-2.5.30.newmtd/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-trigraphs -Os -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -g -mapcs -mapcs-32 -D__LINUX_ARM_ARCH__=5 -march=armv4 -Wa,-mxscale -mtune=strongarm -mshort-load-bytes -msoft-float -Wa,-mno-fpu -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -DKBUILD_BASENAME=mtdchar -c -o mtdchar.o mtdchar.c mtdchar.c: In function `mtd_open': mtdchar.c:63: invalid operands to binary & make[2]: *** [mtdchar.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/kyle/handheld/homebase/kernel/linux-2.5.30.newmtd/drivers/mtd' make[1]: *** [mtd] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/kyle/handheld/homebase/kernel/linux-2.5.30.newmtd/drivers' make: *** [drivers] Error 2 > > > How stable is mtd for 2.5?

It may be a race condition at boot that is breaking something and completely unrelated to the minor changes I made to the root fs. I'm not familiar sith SysRq-T. Where do I find more about this?
