Oh well. Do you think there's a possibility that the patches may be merged at some
time now that 2.6.0 is out and Linus/Andrew are accepting patches again or is it
dependant on the maintainer?

Also upgraded to the latest 2.6.0-1.23 but I've got problems with a kernel panic
when trying to mount the root fs with a "VFS cannot open root dev "LABEL=/" or
unknown-block(0,0)" error. Its a 9G SCSI disk on a AIC7xxx controller.
