[1] http://cvs.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/doc/debian-amd64-howto/?cvsroot=debian-amd64 If so do you have comments or additions? > But now I'm having some problems with my 3Ware RAID card and > ext3 (and possible NFS).

The kernel is based on the 2.4.22 kernel in unstable and + 23-pre5 patches from kernel.org, + few minor patches to get compiling. You can get all the patches from the source package [2]. The diffs are in amd64 dir and are applied in the order listed by amd64/sequence.
