Are you using i2o_block or i2o_scsi?  i2o_scsi is broken, but some people
have gotten i2o_block to work.

Unfortunately, I'm also having problems with this card on a RAID1 array.
Basically, the install works fine, then if I run dselect update on Debian,
it'll get to Reading Package Lists...1%, then the drive freezes for several
seconds.  I get the following message, and the controller starts beeping
(because the array is "degraded"), and the OS continues to work normally
(albeit the ear-pearcing beeping).

/dev/i2o/hda error: Failure communicating to device.
end_request: I/O error, dev 50:09 (i2o block), sector 4416

Alan, if you're following this, do you have any ideas?
