Yes, but as to be seen in this list, A LOT of users like me had upgraded
their OldWorld Macs with PCI Ultra-SCSI or UW-SCSI cards a time ago to gain
on larger and faster hard drives. The OldWorld kernel respects this and the
kernel shipped with 2.3 did too. So why has it changed?

Sorry that I try to walk around this. I never compiled a kernel by myself
although I know that this is a duty for any serious Linux user ;-)

Should gimme a try.
