	I forget where I got the workaround, might of been bugzilla, but... You
need to manually install i2o_proc.ko... The way I've been doing it is to
run linux askmethod during install (I normally install via NFS), when it
comes to the point of asking you to pick a driver for your disk system,
hit alt-f2 and the I grab it with wget from my www server... The insmod
it, alt-f1 back to the install screen and proceed with the
installation..
