First of it all, it's still risky to do it. But here is how: get Mark's patch -> http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=107210932819564&w=2 Hack the ./drivers/scsi/dpt_i2o.c and remove all references to the access_count member. The access_count member doesnt exist anymore but is it still included in the shipped dpt_i2o.c file. I googled some changelogs and it appears to be removed in a 2.5.x kernel, but correct me if i am wrong. it's q&d but it works so far ;) Compile & boot :) I enabled bigmem (4GB) and didnt encounter any problems yet. I have to do some benchmarks bonnie/postal to get a high load for a couple of hours. Just to make sure it doesnt die ;)
