We'd previously had it working under 6.2 with the I2O Kernel that Intel
released with the board. It was based on 2.2.16, and seemed to behave OK
with that combo. It's now up and working, but we ended up using the 1.0 XFS
CD, and setting the filesystems to be EXT2 (yuck) rather than XFS ( happines
).

Couldn't really tell due to frustration at about our 8th install attempt.
Now it's up again, we'll start to figure out what was going wrong and
hopefully isolate it to something more definate. We'll have a go at making
some filesystems XFS, which may show us what's up.
