Basically, 2.6.X doesn't support I2O drivers because it was developed for intel IA32 based system only.
If you use IA32 you can patch your 2.6.x kernel by patch that can be taken here
http://smartcgi.com/patches/dpt_i2o.patch
This 2.6 kernel with I2O patch has been installed and tested at production servers for 2 weeks for kernel 2.6.5
with SuperMicro motherboards with Adaptec AIC7XXX and Adaptec I2O 2000S and 2015S PCI 64bit cards.
Here're options enabled to support Adaptec SCSI 7XX and I2O cards:
"SCSI device support" -> "SCSI low-level drivers"
CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX=y
CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX_OLD=y
CONFIG_SCSI_AIC79XX=y
CONFIG_SCSI_DPT_I2O=y
"I2O device support":
CONFIG_I2O=y
CONFIG_I2O_PCI=y
CONFIG_I2O_BLOCK=y
CONFIG_I2O_SCSI=y
CONFIG_I2O_PROC=y
Originally this patch has been released by Go Taniguchi at http://pkgcvs.turbolinux.co.jp/~go/patch-2.6/dpt_i2o.patch
