Just out of curiosity, I've tried 2.6.24-rc3 and patched the kernel
accordingly (DISABLE_SG_CHAINING): doesn't boot successfully,
same error as usual:

EXT2-fs error (device sda1): ext2_check_page: bad entry in directory #2:
rec_len is smaller than minimal - offset=0, inode=0, rec_len=0,
name_len=0
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found.  Try passing init= option to
kernel.

As sent in a parallel mail, I've found out that 2.6.23-rc2 works and
2.6.23-rc3 shows the same problems - so the problem has to be searched
in the dpt_i2o-changes made for 2.6.23-rc3.
