Ropsten's chain split with geth 1.10.8 (this worked for me)

I used the fix found here: https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/issues/23503#issuecomment-911415751

That being:

--whitelist 10920274=0xfd652086d220d506ae5b7cb80fde97d2f3f7028d346cc7d9d384a83d3d638532 

when starting geth and then run

debug.setHead('0xA6A14E') 

in the console

​

This worked for me, I am on the correct side of the fork and have 27 nodes peering.

​

Don't panic if you see this behaviour:

INFO [09-19|01:09:11.152] Whitelist mismatch, dropping peer id=349c5903b61688d4 conn=staticdial number=10,920,274 hash=2fd63e..ced14f want=fd6520..638532

​

These are nodes on the 'wrong' side of the fork, their connection is being rejected.

​

Hope this list of nodes on the correct side of the fork (as of 19-Sep-2021) helps:
