Actually, the patch is:
http://arm.mydatex.cz/ARM_patch/2.6.18_TS7250.patch

The machine_id is fixed. I did everything as suggested. I've tried 3
different compilers. I've stripped the .config of everything I could.
I was wondering if anyone had an idea of where to start debugging or
possible fixes before I start teaching myself ARM assembly and try to
figure out what is going on.
