Mount Rainier and kernel 2.6

Mount Rainier and kernel 2.6

[fab]

I would like to ask if support for Mount Rainier is inluded in 2.6 
kernel (as it was written in artice info on page 
http://kt.zork.net/kernel-traffic/kt20021021_189.html#3)

No it isn't, at least not yet. As it just happens, my mt rainier drive
is mounted in the 2.5 testbox though. If I get the time, I don't see any
reason it can't make it into 2.6. It's a pretty simple addition now,
ide-cd has write support etc.

Are there any patches anywhere, or is it a case of SMP (Simple Matter
of Programming)?

The last published patch (at least from me, I'm not aware of any others)
is on kernel.org in people/axboe/patches/v2.4/2.4.19-pre4

So more a case of testing and adapting (that includes fixing bugs
probably, the code isn't that well tested. it worked...) to 2.5.x
