Don't tell me those NUMAQ's are using IDE ;)
No, that's one level of pain I don't have to deal with ;-)

Now switched fibrechannel SANs on a machine that really needs

the other hand ... but I can live without that for now ...

But seriously, what's the problem?  We really do need the big
boxes to be able to test 2.5 right now, and any blockage needs
to be cleared away.
You really want the current list? The whole of our team is 
shifting focus to 2.5, which'll make life more interesting ;-)

Oh, I forgot, there was a bad v86 info thing on the 9th cpu woken
that I never finished debugging, too. And the MAX_IO_APICS issue,
which is easily solved by just increasing the constant #ifdef
CONFIG_MULTIQUAD as usual. This panics before console_init() though,
which makes it seem more painful than it really is.
