I recently built a new machine using Fedora Core 5, with a DPT (now
adaptec) PM1564U3 Smart RAID controller card. I checked around
( http://i2o.shadowconnect.com/ ) and the card is supported, I even saw
this (http://i2o.shadowconnect.com/faq.php#i2o_scsi); it does not
apply.
Better still both the installer and rescue CD boot, find the controller
card (complain about IRQ 9 where the RAID card is) and continue on
loading 'i2o_block'.
When my installed copy of FC5 tries to boot, initrd always dies at
'i2o_block' ... I have edited my initrd so the computer boots, yet I
still can not get FC5 to recognize the card.
There are major problems with 2.6.16 and i2o, see the bugzilla item below.
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=189570
There is a patch, and it will be included in the 2.6.17 kernel.
For more information check out the redhat.com bugzilla and follow the
link to the kernel.org bugzilla entry.
