Hi Marcus,
Could you give more details ? I'm stucked with a boot problem on a
Asus P5W that also includes a Jmicron behind a Sata port on ICH8, and
the kernel boot goes timeout when probing it... I've been trying various
kernels,
including some patches from Tejun (Thanks !), but no luck to date..
Guilt v0.20 is available for download (once it mirrors out on kernel.org).
Guilt (Git Quilt) is a series of bash scripts which add a Mercurial
queues-like functionality and interface to git.
Tarballs:

Steve, can you decide what the right thing to do with these changes is
and send me the result (or just tell me to apply Adrian's patch
as-is)?
Thanks,

is to reference Kconfig options removed back then. Go, rest in pieces.

only! It breaks kernel API for network devices, and only three examples
are fixed (skge, sky2, and tg3).
