Adaptec 2015S installation woes - Fedora 8

[Mark J. Hughes]

We're trying to upgrade a server that had been faithfully running  
Fedora Core 5 with an Adaptec 2015-S card - 3 15k scsi drives in a  
raid-5 config - to Fedora 8. I recall during my initial install in  
FC5, I had to boot up with "linux install noprobe" and then manually  
load in i2o_block in order to see the drives. After install, all was  
well.

This go around, F8 doesn't see the i2o device by default, which is ok.  
But running "linux install noprobe" and then manually loading in  
i2o_block causes a kernel panic (or similar looking output). The  
install process dies right then and there, no recovery possible, and  
its game over.

I can't find any F7/F8 bugs related to this, but I found:

	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=189570

Which points to

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6561

Which seems to think the issue is fixed, but nonetheless, we're hosed  
here.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!
