People !!!

Is it supposed to be fixed ? Ever ?

Does anybody care at all ?

How can one try modular SCSI or modular IDE if it's impossible to get an
initial RAM disk ?

I can understand that there are some more urgent tasks, but this bug is
already through several "releases" :(( How can the shiny new 2.4 can be
released if half of 2.3 is not compilable at all ? Does anybody try to
compile the whole thing ?

Grrr....
