Yes,

I had to do that as well.

Incidentally, are you using the zd1211.o module? I've been hacking at it 
all day, and finally got it recompiled without the hordes of warnings 
saying "before wait 2" about 300 times.

The module will not insert properly into the running TS9 kernel unless 
the div64.o stub (located at arch/arm/lib/div64.o) is compiled in 
statically using:

arm-9tdmi-linux-gnu-ld -static -r $zd2111_home/src/*.o \
$ts9_kerel_home/linux24/arch/arm/lib/div64.o -o zd1211.o

If you're interested I can post the module somewhere.
