I had both compiled into the kernel at the time, but i2o_block seems to
initialize first(i2o_block help claims they can both be used at same
time, I sure don't know :).

However, today I tried with only i2o_block compiled in, and now it just
complains about not being able to mount root filesystem.  Same kernel and
same config, except DPT patch(from http://aurore.net/source/, for 2.4.5
but patches without any fuzz) and remove i2o support and add Adaptec i2o
support, works fine.
