Hi,

I'm trying to install 3.1 on a Challenge S (IP2x) but unfortunately the
SCSI probe fails when talking to my IBM DNES-309170 disk. I'm aware that
this is a known problem with some drives and that it has recently been
fixed (Ben Harris's message on this list on 24th Sept.). I guess the
fixes came too late for 3.1 but would it be possible for me to back-port
them into a custom kernel for my system, and if so, which files do I
need? I have successfully installed 3.1 on an O2 so can use that to
build a kernel for my Challenge S.

Regards,
George
