[K12OSN] Beta 9 does not install on system with zero channel i20

[Dave Hopkins]

Ok, this one has driven me to distraction, but apparently there is an 
issue with Adaptec i2o

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=189570 , for the 
end of this

"This fix will be present in 2.6.17. Is there any chance of anyone backporting it
into 2.6.16 before Fedora goes 2.6.17?"

For the present, a possible work around is to use pci=routeirq .  
Haven't tested this yet, will try to get back over to the school (late) 
tonight and do so.  At any rate, my luck with the IT gods is continuing 
to hold true to form :)

I have selected the i20_block device for the install.  I do not see an option to selet dpt_i2o as the driver.  From Adaptec's website, there are not any applicable downloads.
