Well, I am working on a solution for that problem. I.e. a tiny adapter
for an USB cable that you can plug into the audio/tv-out socket of the
Pandora.

Ok, I'll have to take a look for that.

The biggest source of trouble with a self-built kernel may be
installation on the SD card. The complied .dtb files and modules
should also be installed to match the uImage.

Anyways, I have looked into the

problem.

The real reason is 

[   33.166473] omap3isp 480bc000.isp: deferred probe timeout, ignoring dependency

which means that something required by the image signal processor (camera
interface) inside the omap3 chip is not becoming available. May be some
clock or gpio.

Generally this should not be harmful and just make the GTA04 camera inoperational
(the OpenPandora hasn't one). But it may have unexpected side-effects.

BR,
Nikolaus
