Ok I did some tests :
i) Devo 10 standalone with last NB : OK
ii) Devo 10 + a NRF24L01+PA standalone (using my soldering job on debug port and CYRF6936) : OK (flew a V272 quad using V2x2)
iii) I checked all connectivity of the multi-module and for me it's ok ...
Here are some photos
EDIT :
Can I install one module by one module on the multi-module for testing?
In the worst case, I want to unsolder the CC2500 and the nRF24L01 in order to test first the A7105-500.

I also have the CYRF module missing warning. I have DEvo7e internal Cyrf, NRF + skyartec + 7105 on the MM.
Unfortunately, I also have issues with he NRF, I have to power cycle the TX for it to initialize, I think (humming) and it doesn't bind with my Hisky birds. Only the skyartec and 7105 bind and work.
I tried all the latest nightlies,avr.hex V3, no joy... every time cyrf missing and no Hisky connection. The cyrf is missing even if I un-comment the "enable-cyrf6936 = B12"
My HW.ini
I tested each module separately all are working ok, if no MM in place the CYRF is detected and works.
For the time being I took off the MM and re-installed the Skyartec and NRF modules (working ok), weather is good and I wanna fly

Interesting ... finally more or less the same symptoms that mine.
Did you try to install only one module in the MM and test it indivusually ?
Edit :
I don't have :
enable-a7105=S1
has_pa-a7105=1
enable-cc2500=S3
has_pa-cc2500=1
enable-nrf24l01=S402
has_pa-nrf24l01=1
in my HW.ini, just the enable-multimod=A13. I don't know if it's important or not

Don't use a pump, it's a lot easier with solder wick. Since I bought some at DX the pump is collecting dust

Well my solder wick is not really efficient. In fact, I will ask to a technician in my job (in the CMS dept) to do it.

I desoldering both the CC2500 and the nRF24L01 for the MM, only the A7105-500 is remaining. Now I don't have any msg "missing .... protocol" but unfortunatly, I got a * front the FlySky, husband protocols for example 
.
I have only the enable-multimod=A13 in my HW.ini (I did a test enabling A7105 with S21 and I got the msg : "missing A7105 protocol"....
I checked all my soldering job from debug port + CYRF to the A7105-500 of the MM. Everything is in direct contact except CSN and MISO which can be found on the ATTINY. It seems that the ATTINY don't reroute the CSN and MISO to the A7105-500. Maybe I should check connectivity with my devo 10 powered on ?

Now I am wondering if I did the right wiring on my devo10
I used pins 4, 8, 10 of CYRF6936-DEVO for CSN, MOSI, MISO respectively and used NRESET, TMS, GND and VCC of the debug port (see photo)
According to wiki, I read :
CYRF6936-DEVO 1(5V) 5 3 8 10 2 Connect 9->5
Do I need to connect also the 5V from CYRF6936-DEVO to the P1 of MM ?. Do I need to instal a wire from 9->5 ?
EDIT : Maybe I found : "If the 'Universal Module' is being installed, 'CSN' should connect to the 'TMS' pin, and 'RESET' should connect to the 'TCK' pin" ....
I think, I stupidely connected RESET of P1 to NRESET of 'CONN5' header instead of TCK ...

EUREKA ....
Stupidely connnected P1-RESET to NREST-CYRF-DEVO instead of TCK-CYRF-DEVO. Now it's flashing well with the devo. I will reinstall module now one by one
