My colleague and I got
aic79xx to work.
We had
to build a 2.4.20 kernel with aic79xx-2.0.2-source.tar and any
other driver we wanted (like ext3, and eepro100) built in.
Below are my other notes. If you want, I can
email you our files.

driver: aix79xx.o
So what I have to do now is to convert all of my
worker nodes to IDE? SCSI will not work?

No, you can't change anything on it. It is a CRAMFS filesystem, which
is compressed. The only way I have found to do anything about it was to
mount it, copy everything to another (writable) file system, make the
changes and then create a new CRAMFS filesystem. It is good that it
makes very small filesystems, but bad in that it is readonly once
created.
