I really can't help much, you're now officially a few steps ahead of me on this matter :-) I need the last two weeks of my vacation time badly so I can work on some of these issues....

qlob: [[The "wrong transfer length" errors are in most cases irrelevant. I just was a bit too lazy to make the error more verbose.]] Edit: sorry, that was a bit hasty. I misread -- of course, those errors would be irrelevant if they would indicate that the RAM kernel is running (receiving 8 bytes instead of 4 bytes), but the other way around it means that it is dropping out of the RAM kernel mode over and over again. But that's what the posts of knc1+geekmaster are about.
The disappearing USB device is a bummer, though -- but I think knc1 and geekmaster are right on track here, the culprit might be the RAM kernel.

I do agree, most of the code of ATK I looked at didn't really feel like production-grade code. On the other hand, a lot of existing production-grade code doesn't feel like such either :-)

As a last short note, before I will be able to contribute something more important: I was in most cases using the RAM kernel from ATK 1.67. Not sure if it changed at all from there on, though.
