		<description><![CDATA[The stock Raspberry Pi kernel, as supplied with the default Raspbian distribution, is pretty good &#8211; albeit not always especially streamlined. However, building a custom kernel with different options can be an unexpected minefield: many seemingly innocuous changes can cause the Pi to fail to boot &#8211; often with the VideoCore system failing to initialise [...]]]></description>
