I just tried 2.1.15 on my PS/2 Model 95 (with IBM SCSI).
It does not work. I observed the following:
1.) To get it compiled:
--- ibmmca.c.ORIG Thu Dec 12 22:52:07 1996
+++ ibmmca.c Thu Dec 12 22:52:42 1996

+ issue_cmd (virt_to_bus((unsigned long) &scb), IM_SCB | ldn);
while (!got_interrupt)
barrier ();
2.) I still get these warnings:

3.) The built-in loader (cat zImage >/dev/fd0) repeatedly spits out
lines of "AX=...", "BX=...", and so on. If anybody is interested,
I can write down the messages in detail. LILO works, of course.
4.) The IBM SCSI adapter is not detected at all. ("scsi: 0 hosts",
no error message from ibmmca.c). A 2.0.10 kernel with the MCA
patches works fine on this machine.
BTW, with 2.1.14-megapatch8, problems #1, #2, and #4 also appear, but
#3 does not.
On the weekend I will have a look at ibmmca.c. Unfortunately I'm
completely unfamiliar with the new features of the 2.1.x kernels
(virt_to_phys et al.). So if anybody has an idea where to start....
