If I understand correctly, some vendor would put I2O messaging hardware but they would use it in a non-standard way ? So, if they dont support the I2O protocol with their hardware, I will have to do it in another way... Is there a simple way to find out if my device support I2O protocol ? Maybe

DPT I2O RAID and Linux I2O

2001-04-30 Thread Alan Cox
A few people have asked about the dpt_i2o driver recently. If you have a DPT I2O card please try a late 2.4.3-ac kernel. It should now work when you do 'modprobe i2o_scsi' After a lot of reviewing of the dpt driver I figured out what command was upsetting the beast and added a workaround for it.
