After that the kernel tries to mount root as FAT or isofs and fails aswell.
Removing the patch brings Linux back to live but renders my MO drive useless.
The patch also works fine for my SCSI-only-computer at home.
I already contacted the original author (orschaer@cip.informatik.uni-erlangen.de)
last week but got no reply yet.
Is there anything I can do let the system boot from an IDE drive with the patch
installed? Is there a better/newer patch for 2k block sizes available?
When will Linux support this block size by default anyway?
Thanks

P.S. I tried this patch both on a 2.0.30 an .31 kernel.
Unfortunately I do not have a spare SCSI disk to install and boot from
for testing.
P.P.S Does some *BSD (or other free i386 *nix) support 2k blocks, ext2 and ISDN?
