41 Hi Joseph,
42
43 Ooops...I am using 3.18.1 vanilla here.

45 Derek Molloy runs this camera on a beaglebone black
46 (an ambedded Linux system)...
47 Forget the part regarding the Beaglebone Black,
48 but Linux is Linux is Linux is Linux :)
49 Therefore the hints on kernel configuration
50 items should be hopefully usable for you.
