I've copied the 20020524 test ISO to:
ftp://gsyprf10.external.hp.com/pub/cd-images/palinux-2.4.18-pa25-20020524-netinst.iso

sba_pa8700 patch isn't committed yet for two reasons:
  o It's not tested on anything but the rp24xx. I'm convinced it will
    crash on other boxes.
  o I'm waiting for feedback on how to properly implement
    self-modifying code in the kernel or if it's just not worth it. 

Thibaut offered to respin the ISO (he knows how to do it now)
with -pa26 (or whatever sba_pa8700.diff becomes).
With that in mind, please don't download 20020524 ISO (736 MB) unless 
you really need it *now* or want to test it on your favorite box for us.

thanks,
