> Applying the patch & compiling went fine.  But the new kernel doesn't recognize the FC host adapter (though the bios does) and there is no dpt_i20 module so I can't insmod.  I don't know how to tell whether the driver is in the kernel.  Maybe I'm just not smart enough for Linux.

No its not your fault. The dpt_i2o stuff depends on a driver that isnt in the
standard kernels, doesn't work for all cases. Im still trying to get a driver
out of them good enough to merge but its an incredibly slow tedious process.

For actual work I'm using symbios fibrechannel cards and most people I know
use qlogic cards with Linux.
