Hi!

Would You consider first installing with some kernel, that works for sure
and then trying the one with the proposed patch? Otherwise, there are
too many unknowns in the equation :-). I know, the patched kernel compiles,
but since I don't have access to a 720 machine, I could not test it.

Cheers,

Jurij.
