The problem in dpt_i2o could be the pci config space accesses it triggers as it loads, dangerous to do if there is any I/O activity going on in the other driver (probable if a boot driver I guess). I approve this patch to dpt_i2o.c, and am applying it to the Adaptec branch of the driver. Thanks for the investigation Ryoji.

It seems that location of pci_request_regions() are wrong. I moved it just behind pci_enable_device() like other drivers, and it becomes fine.
