Thanks! I tested your image with GRUB yesterday, and the installation
works out just fine. When booting it seems like dpt_i2o is loaded
before i2o_{block,core}, which gives this error message:

  iop0: device already claimed
  iop0: DMA / IO allocation for I2O controller failed
     
  ALERT!  /dev/i2o/hda1 does not exist.  Dropping to a shell!
          Check your root= boot argument (cat /proc/cmdline)
  Check for missing modules (cat /proc/modules), or device files (ls /dev/)
     
  Busybox ...

I checked that dpt_i2o was loaded. I guess dpt_i2o should be added to
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist on the installed system, or?
