So Far:

As far as I understand, its a problem with needing a pte_offset_map() with a corresponding pte_unmap().

I haven't been able to get a working diff to help a non C-coder like myself to get this working... :-(

Can anyone here help?

Search results in this forum for "phoebe", including a HOWTO for it written by ppieti, who has gotten it to sort-of-work -- at least with an older beta:

Fantastic. Cheers. I'd been searching using terms relating to the error message. That explain why I couldn't find anything t start with :-)
