To greatly speed up work, just use a binary search technique. That is, go to the section of code that's causing problem, put a breakpoint or similiar half-way. If it dies before that point, move it back half way, after that point, move it forwards half way. Iterate until you find the place.

2.2.18 ide-scsi & scsi generic modules
There was a post on linux-kernel earlier today stating that "hdx=scsi" did not work correctly if both were compiled as modules for 2.4.10-testxx and a patch was posted. I can confirm that this is true for 2.2.x, with "hdx=ide-scsi". Once I compiled both statically into the kernel, it works. Perhaps somone can backport the fixes? It would be nice to change 2.2 so it can accept "hdx=scsi" for compatiblity with 2.4.

2.2.18 ide-scsi scsi generic modules
There was a post on linux-kernel earlier today stating that "hdx=scsi" did not work correctly if both were compiled as modules for 2.4.10-testxx and a patch was posted. I can confirm that this is true for 2.2.x, with "hdx=ide-scsi". Once I compiled both statically into the kernel, it works. Perhaps somone can backport the fixes? It would be nice to change 2.2 so it can accept "hdx=scsi" for compatiblity with 2.4.

Upgrading a 2.2.14-5.0 kernel to 2.2.16-3 kernel
I haven't been able to receive an answer from RedHat on this :o( We have a Dell PowerEdge server runninng RH 6.0 with the RH 2.2.14-5.0 kernel. Now, I am aware there are some security issues with the 2.2.14 kernel, however our Dell server requires the use of the third party MegaTrends RAID driver which is loaded through initrd. Will upgrading the kernel to 2.2.16-3 affect the initrd image? Or will I have to reinstall the initrd image with it? It's particularly important because if the MegaTrend driver isn't correctly installed we will have a dead server!
