Likewise, and still no dice...

I've also got an Adaptec card for which the i2o block driver 
auto-loads, but no drives are ever found, in either the RHEL4b1 
installer or FC3t3 installer.

Adaptec 2100S, BIOS 1.62, 128MB cache, 4x36G drives set up as a RAID-5 
array. I saw mention of a patch missing from FC3t2 to support 128MB 
cache cards, which was supposedly going to make it into t3, but I 
haven't followed closely what the status is on that...

# lspci -v
00:0c.0 PCI bridge: Adaptec (formerly DPT) PCI Bridge (rev 02) (prog-if 
00 [Normal decode])
         Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64
         Bus: primary=00, secondary=02, subordinate=02, sec-latency=64
         Capabilities: [68] Power Management version 2

00:0c.1 I2O: Adaptec (formerly DPT) SmartRAID V Controller (rev 02) 
(prog-if 01)
         Subsystem: Adaptec (formerly DPT) 2000S Ultra3 Single Channel
         Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 16
         BIST result: 00
         Memory at e0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
         Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=32K]
         Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 2


# lspci -n
00:0c.0 Class 0604: 1044:a500 (rev 02)
00:0c.1 Class 0e00: 1044:a501 (rev 02)

Interesting that lspci calls it a 2000S, its definitely a 2100S (my 
memory says so, and so does the BIOS at POST)...
