Hello Mephisto,

yes, i2o_block is new driver for i2o hardware, it replaced old dpt_i2o driver in 2.6-based Red Hat disributions.

CONFIG_I2O_EXT_ADAPTEC is not the same as CONFIG_I2O_BLOCK
There are 2 different suboption of new i2o layer.

to build new i2o layer you should enable at least following config options in kernel config file:
CONFIG_I2O=m
CONFIG_I2O_CONFIG=m
CONFIG_I2O_BLOCK=m
CONFIG_I2O_SCSI=m

I would note that i2o_block driver used unusual device names:
instead usual scsi-like /dev/sda it uses /dev/i2o/hda device names. If you not use LABEL's on your filesystem, you may have troubles with partition mounting.

I would note that the best solution is to use the same driver as on your linux distribution.
If Gentoo uses dpt_i2o driver -- that I would recommend you to _disable_ CONFIG_I2O option at all and enable compilation for old dpt_i2o driver:
CONFIG_SCSI_DPT_I2O=m

Thank you,
Vasily Averin
