I'm trying to file compare both linux subfolders to try to get something, and also to use wl hdd .config file on your version but it doesn't boot up.

I'm going to wait for your work and maybe help to find the cause of the kernel panic?

Well, I've already diffed the kernels and there is only one relevant part, that was changed. I've not tried to do exactly like ASUS has done this, probably I will try this tonight.

How do you test IDE on WL-500g if there's no IDE chip/support available? :confused:

Remotely, using Antiloop as connection. :D

Just a though: is modprobe better than insmod to mount a file like ide-probe-mod.o or ide-mod.o?

modprobe just loads all dependcies (internally it calls insmod)
