Broke is broke.
The update suggestion was to increase the time span of what we create, rather than have it break again as soon as you go on-line.
You probably want to install the update blocker directory name on your Kindle.
If you haven't already, see Step #7 of the current jb instructions.

Some modules will be compiled in, some will be external and loadable, some will not be even used.
Those three sets may be different and the differences significant.

Thanks

If anyone has, they haven't posted about it here.

Yes, I have the the other models with known working (from Amazon) OTG support and that is part of what I intend to do.

This is going to turn into a long documentary for people to refer to in the future as we stumble through it the first time.
So any information attached to the posts might be of help to future readers.
Ah,
That also means we get to make our mistakes in public, hope you don't embarrass easily.
Which just means the next reader can read about them, rather than take the time to learn-by-doing them themself.
Running Linux in a VM should not make a difference -
It might slow things down a bit, but it isn't like we will be doing this every day from now on.
Again - Which Linux distribution? Name and version please.
And I do hope you installed a 32-bit flavor of it.
Amazon posts all source code on:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custo...deId=200203720
In your case, this should be the one to work with (paperwhite 6th. generation):

I haven't looked at it yet, so I am hoping that Lab126 didn't screw it up - they sometimes do.
hmm...
Debian.
Here is a couple of links to getting ARM code to run under Debian:
https://wiki.debian.org/QemuUserEmulation
https://wiki.debian.org/EmDebian/Cro...strap_approach
They are not specifically for kernel building, but consider them an introduction.
I'll post what I do to set them up (a mix-and-match of both sets of directions).
So for now, those are just background information.
**OUR** end goal will be to install a Debian/Jessie/ARMel system into you Linux VM under (I suppose) Windoze.
Edit: The source above ships the 3.0.35 (rather than the 3.10.53) version the other OTG devices are using.
Do a:
uname -a
on your Kindle to make sure they didn't screw that up.
