And so the upgrade to bone77 continues: 1) needed to recompile kernel so uio_pruss.c had static int extram_pool_sz = SZ_8M (took a long time to figure out that SZ_8M was the correct define) ; downloaded kernel into BBB and started compiling kernel; failed due to not enough memory. 2) started over on desktop; had to install cross compilation tool chain. Tried to compile kernel; failed due to dependencies; after Googling, installed dependencies; failed again due to more dependencis; solved with Google; failed due to having directory on Dropbox and it's issue with case conflicts; copied to a non-Dropbox directory and currently trying again (each try is almost an hour). Moral: even the simplest upgrade will break your programs; plan on stopping everything for at least 1-5 days.
