This is the least of your worries. If you are using i2o use a -ac kernel tree. There are a _lot_ of other things wrong with the base 2.4 tree and I've not yet merged the fixes back.

i2o_block is not properly initializing its gendisk structure (i2o_gendisk) and someone forgot to link it to the gendisk linked list, causing i2o hard drives and partitions not to show in /proc/partitions (debian installer relies on this to find fdisk'able drives).

i2o_block struct gendisk misinitialization (2.4.3)
Hi i2o_block is not properly initializing its gendisk structure (i2o_gendisk) and someone forgot to link it to the gendisk linked list, causing i2o hard drives and partitions not to show in /proc/partitions (debian installer relies on this to find fdisk'able drives). I attached a simple patch to fix it.
