check out this website, http://i2o.shadowconnect.com/, these are the
guys supporting the i2o driver on linux....joe
Yeah.. I know. I was hoping to NOT use those drivers since they don't
support the Adaptec alarm and config utilities.

I reinstalled using the i2o_core and i2o_block drivers, the system
now
runs
fine, but I can't use any of the Adaptec utilities to manage the
arrays
and
have it send me warning e-mails. For that I'll need the Adaptec
drivers.
Do you happen to know where I can find them?  I've surfed around on
Adaptec's site but I haven't found anything useful, it seems like

release pre-built binaries for systems up to kernel 2.4, and the

doesn't seem to be available either.

It's unfortunate that I cannot get hardware raid to work,
Complain to Adaptec who don't want to offer an open source driver or
at
least the specs to enable the community to come up with a driver.

So it seems maybe Adaptec support is limited by their own policies.
Seems
a
pity.
Yep.. They offer me to get the 2130SLP or 2230SLP instead. Which of
course
would make me swap motherboard as well since those two doesn't work in
32-bit PCI slots. I could fix that, but those controllers cost more than
twice the cost of the motherboard. Geee..
They don't want to release newer drivers for any *nix, but they still
update
the Windows 2000, XP and 2003 drivers.  Like any serious server owner
would
run a Windows server?
Anyway, there must be a solution to this somewhere, it's just the
question
of finding it. I can run i2o_core and i2o_block, but then I can't use
