Hi Mulyadi,

I think this might be the issue. I chrooted into the usb and checked the
modinfos for the various modules:

The cp210x.ko module is what I've built, and the vermagic is completely
different compared to the other modules.

Is there a way I can compile this module for the GEODE on another system
(Cross compile?)? I also seem to have gotten the wrong kernel version
(rt24 vs rt31). I'll go find the correct kernel version from their
git[1] and retry.
