I'm trying to install either 32-bit or 64 bit centos 4.3 and I keep getting an error:
"No valid devices were found on which to install filesystems".
In checking BIOS and RAID, everything seems fine, but I just found some research about I20.
An alternative would be the i2o_blocks module.
How can I install CentOS 4.3 x86_64 using i2o_blocks? How do I instruct the boot prompt to find this driver and get me past the above error?
Even in 32-bit I still get this error as well.

A bit more info about your hardware would be rather handy here...

it cant find your hard drives, what controller do you have ? its possible that you either need a driver disc or the controller is not supported at all.
lspci -v; lspci -n, after a 'linux rescue' boot, would help in locating the issue.

lspci -v gets:
AMD-8111 PCI
Adaptec RAID Bus Controller SmartRAID V
Mass Storage Controller Silicon Image SiI 3114 SataLink/SataRaid Serial ATA Controller
lspci -n gets some hex-numeric output....
dmesg shows some acpi activity that yields the errors ata1 SATAmax ata1 no device....

Removing the USB-based CDROM and installing a proper CDROM in the chassis resolved this.
The USB signal/device was conflicting somehow with the normal sequence of loading the proper drivers to configure filesystems. BIOS adjustments didn't work either, so there you have it. Machine up.

Autodection of some i2o controllers (for example Adaptec's 2010s and 2015s) doesn't work. Just click that you want to manually select driver(s) to load.
