I have tried to set this up but have run into a problem probably due to my error. It has been a while since I have had to build kernels... I pulled 2.6.31-rc1, applied the two patches below and then applied the 3 patches for the interface. The new kernel loads fine but when a trespass command is sent I get an panic. I am looking though how I built the kernel and perhaps build with your 3 patches to see if it happened before. Here is the data: Jul 2 14:57:57 bullwinkle kernel: kernel BUG at block/cfq-iosched.c:2273!
