Ah. No wonder I recall thinking i2o sounded very cool wen it was announced many years ago. I just never saw it in use much. Seemed like it almost just vanished after it was announced. Now I see CONFIG_I2O=m and CONFIG_I2O_SCSI=m in every 2.6 kernel on Debian that I have around. So at least the kernel has support. Perhaps the installer/initrd system doesn't know about it, or the module got left out of the install system kernel filtering. Do you know the name of the module?
