Ain't it always ... 

Anyway, now that I have wised up to the fact that the etch install kernels are 
still at 2.6.18 (how backwards is that ...) I'm quite confident that all that's 
needed to fix the SCSI problems is my old 2.6.18 patch (back in 2.6.18, I could 
still fudge the SCSI midlevel timers). I seem to have done a version for 2.6.21 
but not 2.6.18 - will do that ASAP.

Michael

There was an etch 2.6.24, but m68k never built it (or much of anything else for 
etch).

That's once of the reasons I want some form of lenny: etch, how old is that? ;)

Maybe next week.

Peace,

Stephen
