Hi dale,

I had the same problem with CENTOS and I had to get the driver dpt_i2o.  
Normally it is a card with 2 parts on it, 2010S and a part that uses the  
driver aic79xx, on which you connect p.e. the tape-drive. Connecting a  
tape on it will get you into trouble. So I disabled that part in the Bios.

I do not remember anymore how I did this all, because I wan't to forget  
about this card, it is a nightmare.

If you google then you will find something about it.

My lsmod gives me at the end:

aic7xxx               146425  0
dm_snapshot            20837  0
dm_zero                 6337  0
dm_mirror              28449  0
ext3                  118729  2
jbd                    59481  1 ext3
dm_mod                 58949  6 dm_snapshot,dm_zero,dm_mirror
i2o_block              16717  3
i2o_core               42077  1 i2o_block
sd_mod                 20545  0
scsi_mod              116429  3 st,aic7xxx,sd_mod

Good luck
