Hi Stuart,

You should be able to grab the 2.6.34 eSATA SheevaPlug patches from here:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=d8ecb3490050b33bf46ce77c7f239e0fc51a6835
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=d7b222d708e6eff0cf47928f439c8bcf49f10bb6
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=d5b5746bed1023e4a55f96405422d3e51968fa43

And the GuruPlug patch from here:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/nico/orion.git;a=commit;h=d8f089d2ad35861c432618900fa08ca70c168d76

These seem to apply against 2.6.33.4 as long as you do them in the right 
order, although I haven't tried compiling them and I certainly haven't 
tested them as I don't have any kind of SheevaPlug and I'm still waiting 
for my GuruPlug to turn up :)

The following states there are some additional GuruPlug patches as well:

I've put them all in a tarball and attached them to this mail. Isn't that 
nice?

Cheers,

Jim
