 ok i said tomorrow: it's tomorrow.  hold up joe, i've just tested it:
the 3.4-cb2-dev kernel i downloaded works fine, but the
lkcl-3.3-a20-dev one (even though it's identical code copied over from
the 3.4-cb2-dev kernel) does *not* work - i'll investigate why.

 so don't spend any effort attempting to get it to work - it won't
until i've found out why or decided to try a different avenue.
