+config I2O
+ tristate "I2O support"
+ depends on PCI
+ ---help---
+ The Intelligent Input/Output (I2O) architecture allows hardware
+ drivers to be split into two parts: an operating system specific
+ module called the OSM and an hardware specific module called the
+ HDM. The OSM can talk to a whole range of HDM's, and ideally the
+ HDM's are not OS dependent. This allows for the same HDM driver to
+ be used under different operating systems if the relevant OSM is in
+ place. In order for this to work, you need to have an I2O interface
+ adapter card in your computer. This card contains a special I/O
+ processor (IOP), thus allowing high speeds since the CPU does not
+ have to deal with I/O.
+
+ If you say Y here, you will get a choice of interface adapter
+ drivers and OSM's with the following questions.
+
+ To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the
+ modules will be called i2o_core.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
+
+config I2O_CONFIG
+ tristate "I2O Configuration support"
+ depends on PCI && I2O
+ help
+ Say Y for support of the configuration interface for the I2O adapters.
+ If you have a RAID controller from Adaptec and you want to use the
+ raidutils to manage your RAID array, you have to say Y here.
+
+ To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the
+ module will be called i2o_config.
+
+config I2O_BLOCK
+ tristate "I2O Block OSM"
+ depends on I2O
+ help
+ Include support for the I2O Block OSM. The Block OSM presents disk
+ and other structured block devices to the operating system. If you
+ are using an RAID controller, you could access the array only by
+ the Block OSM driver. But it is possible to access the single disks
+ by the SCSI OSM driver, for example to monitor the disks.
+
+ To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the
+ module will be called i2o_block.
+
+config I2O_SCSI
+ tristate "I2O SCSI OSM"
+ depends on I2O && SCSI
+ help
+ Allows direct SCSI access to SCSI devices on a SCSI or FibreChannel
+ I2O controller. You can use both the SCSI and Block OSM together if
+ you wish. To access a RAID array, you must use the Block OSM driver.
+ But you could use the SCSI OSM driver to monitor the single disks.
+
+ To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the
+ module will be called i2o_scsi.
+
+config I2O_PROC
+ tristate "I2O /proc support"
+ depends on I2O
+ help
+ If you say Y here and to "/proc file system support", you will be
+ able to read I2O related information from the virtual directory
+ /proc/i2o.
+
+ To compile this support as a module, choose M here: the
+ module will be called i2o_proc.
