One of our test nodes uses i2o controller. Now this node have 6 Gb memory and
quite a long time it works well under 64-bit RHEL5-based kernel. I'm not sure is
i2o card really 64-bit capable, but dmesg shows that it uses 64-bit dma.

I'm able to run any tests on this node, however it can take some time.

Could you please explain what tests you want to perform?

Thank you,
