I have no idea what went wrong, but it looks like an init issue and is maybe actually a kernel bug that we already fixed. > I then tried to apply the latest kernelpatch to the 2.6.10 kernel > which gives lots of errors This will never work. The patch has 2.6.21 in its name and that means it only applied to 2.6.21 source code. > My question is: is it possoble to upgrade the kernel (bluetooth) step by > step because a jump from 2.6.10 to 2.6.21 is quite big i guess. > Or do i make something else wrong? Upgrading the kernel to 2.6.21 is easier. It might be possible to backport all the Bluetooth patches, but that takes time and I would personally charge a lot for doing that.
