power related. I really don't so won't try that test unless asked. Bottom

So what are the necessary usb modules and how do I get them? This USB drive was built
from:
you need ehci_platform and ohci_platform and phy_sun4i_usb and their deps. They are
already
on your system, you need to regenerate the initrd with them included.
