I'll plan on being awake by then :-)
Only the machines using SATA need to be touched. The SCSI based machine
should not be touched -- that kernel doesn't have any support for anything
beyond ICH5 SATA (ata_piix) built (in or as a module) If you want a
kernel for those machines, tell we what SCSI support you need and I'll
push a new kernel to ftp. (Note: I cannot build x86_64 kernels. Yet.)
I don't have access to any of the machines to actually change anything, but
I can walk you through most things via IRC if no one else is around.
