I am a little confused, that you use the stock kernel from tinycore. My tries to create a complete kernel started with the .config file from the tinycore download site, so I would expect, that my compiled kernel is a "stock" kernel with just the tree additional kernel modules, that are needed for the light sensor module. The piCore player kernel (in fact it is not the kernel, but the installed modules in the initrd) has much less modules and firmware files. Do you strip the modules/firmware directory of the tinycore stock kernel before creating the initrd? Of course it is much easier to build just the missing module and not the complete kernel. I tried that. I just added the missing module to the tinycore stock kernel .config (tc2563 to be build as module). Then I copied the the 3 modules (2 modules for iio and the tsl2563 module) to the piCore player. But loading the module failed, complaining that the symbol tabe won't match. > ...Come over to those forums and we can help out... There are some boards on http://forum.tinycorelinux.net, which will be the best board to place my question?
