There may be something here. I just updated to 2.2.17 as packaged in frozen (compile date of Jul 18th). I got some form of the usual IDE errors on boot, from which it finally recovered, which included some error messages about wait_for_ready. unfortunately I'm not in a position to be compiling kernels at the moment so perhaps some other brave PB3400 user can try uping the timeout and report... -raf
