Hi Christian,

I checked the recipe i2c: In the file I2c.init this recipe wants to modprobe i2c-
pxa. Without having further background on this recipe it seems that it is not 
meant for any board but pxa based ( can anybody confirm ? )
Additional this packet wants to modprobe i2c-dev. This is not the oe-devel-
packet but a wrapper kernel-module for creating a device node in /dev. I will 
later modify the kernel configuration so that i2c-dev is created and see which 
modules are created...

Regards

Andreas
