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.

So what I have to do now is to convert

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.
