The pre-built dpt_i2o.o module provided by DPT for RedHat won't work with the Mandrake kernel. You will have to patch the kernel and compile and install your own dpt_i2o.o module. I started to do this, but then discovered that the 7.2beta version of Mandrake comes with the dpt_i2o.o module to support the new DPT RAID cards. I'm in the process of installing this, so I can't tell you how well it works.

I have extracted the actual module >(dpt_i2o.o), but when I try to insmod it, I get an error from the perl based >installer (can't tell you exactly what it is because I'm not in front of the >machine at the moment). Is there any special procedure I need to follow to >make this module work?
