Hi...
I've seen a mail from you in the mostang mail list.
I think you can give me some hints...
I am running a linux box with Slackware 3.3.0 and kernel 2.0.33, gimp
latest, sane-0.71 and gtk+ latest.
I have been desperatedly working in the past 2 days on having the
Adaptec AVA-1502AE (not simply AVA-1502E: 1st question:
IS THERE ANY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE 2?) recognized by linux. My attempts
failed. I tried both with sg and aha152x compiled into the kernel with a
lilo command line AND with the modularized version of the 3 scsi modules
(scsi_mod sg and aha152x).
I suppose in both cases I provided the wrong configuration line.
Has it to be exactly aha152x=0x140,9,7,0,1,1?? (while the defaults would
be 0x140,11,7,1,1,0,100,0)
I tried with aha152x=0x140,9,7,1 leaving the rest as default, with no
success.
The thing I especially wonder about is, whether the AVA-1502E and
AVA-1502AE are the same card and chip.
In my scanner (Microtek ScanMaker E3) manual, for example, I have the
card referred to as AVA-1502E, but on the card chip the type is
AVA-1502AE. In the manual I have 5 jumpers, IRQ9, IRPQ10, IRQ11, IRQ12
and ALT.
On the card I have:
INT0
INT1
IRQ12
IRQ11
IRQ10
IRQ9
Another question is: do you need in /etc/conf.modules the entries 'alias
sga sg' and 'scsi_hostadapter aha152x'??
Thanx for your attention, and I rely very much upon some (needed) help.
Michael.
