Huh. How can I do so without being a subscriber of the kernel

Looks promising:
./2.6.12-EHCItest/linux-2.6.12-rc1/drivers/usb/host/ehci-sched.c.rej
./2.6.12-EHCItest/linux-2.6.12-rc1/drivers/usb/host/ehci.h.rej

VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 6
SUBLEVEL = 12
EXTRAVERSION =-rc1-ce
uname -r
2.6.12-rc1-ce
Seems I've been successful compiling and installing the
kernel. Thanks for the help!

Yes, seems to be running, and there are surely xruns!
Well, the xruns are bad, but I'm happy to have the patched
kernel running, regardless that the bugs are still
there ;-) .
Thanks a lot & best regards
