I have uploaded my config file - it works on ibm 335/336 servers, and a quick look at your boot msg seams to indicate that your server have some of the same hardware - note however that I load ide/scsi/filesystem stuff as modules so you will need to build a initrd to use my config. the config is here http://randompage.org/static/kernel.conf -- Lars
