Is there a way in 2.4 to address more than 128 scsi discs ?

Do you have something that patches clean against 2.4.19-vanilla ?

Official major allocation allows 256. You can take a patch from
a fresh Red Hat to do it.

Also, you can use devfs or a combo of Kurt's scsi-many and scsidev.

In my attempt to patch 2.4.19 with Kurt Garloff's sd_many patch that was
originally done for 2.4.19-rc3 and having the kernel fail to compile after
doing so, is there any other route I can take to get 2.4.19-vanilla to
allocate more than 128 scsi devices ?

Thanks.
