Would you be willing to compile custom kernels differing slightly from 
yours?

For instance, a bzimage.big in which aic7xxx = y instead of m that could 
be used to run BL3 off a scsi hard disk?

Or a slightly larger version of zimage.p1 compiled to accept scsi_mod and 
sd_mod and imm and ppa modules, for use with a zip drive?

I don't want to download 2.2.26 kernel source.

The BL3 kernels do not support usb-storage.  2.4.X kernels do.  I am 
willing to compile custom 2.4.31 kernels differing slightly from what I 
already posted.
