    What kind of complaints? There is some trickiness going on with
    the partition table on the NAND, because the CPU running Linux
    doesn't have permissions to read the actual partition table.

    Probably related to drivers/char/keyboard.c's

    #warning "Cannot generate rawmode keyboard for your architecture yet."

    Does it help to change the change the big block of 'if
    defined...' so that CONFIG_ARM isn't dependent on
    CONFIG_KEYBOARD_ATKBD? I'm not sure why that's there, perhaps
    there aren't many ARM devices with USB host controllers in them?
