Complementing what Arnd said, we got the dynamic ftrace to work. Just changed 4 things in the *menuconfig*. Before these were built as modules (this is the default I guess): CONFIG_USB=m CONFIG_SOUND=m CONFIG_SND=m CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO=m Then got them built into the kernel: CONFIG_USB=y CONFIG_SOUND=y CONFIG_SND=y CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO=y And everything worked just fine. In my config when I also tried to build the *CONFIG_SND_PS3* into the kernel, the kernel did not boot (probably another bug !? :-).

JFYI, I always use CONFIG_SND_PS3=y in my PS3 kernels, so it should work. Probably it conflicts with something else I have not enabled...

OK, I've been able to reproduce it. It looks like the assumptions of the trampoline that I've made is not correct if the size of the module is over some limit. I had to make usb-core into a module, and I see the same bug. I'll take a deeper look into it. -- Steve
