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.
