    Try adding an entry for kern.* like:
    kern.* -/var/log/kernel

    No, JE is _NOT_ the default USB UHCI driver, it doesn't say so in the
    menu or anywhere. It's just another option.

    This is your problem, DO NOT USE THIS DRIVER WITH THE VISOR!
    set CONFIG_USB_UHCI=y and you should be fine.

    Try that and let me know if you still have problems.
