Hi,
Can anyone advise how I might install the driver for my ancient Adaptec
AHA-1542CP (ISA). The card does not seem to be detected at boot during
the hardware detection phase, I have tried scanning for it using
HardDrake but HardDrake locks up (hard reboot required) when set to
detect ISA devices. I also have an ISA NE2000 clone network card
installed but after two installs Mandrake picked this up. I have checked
as far as possible for conflicts and all seems well in this area. The
Adaptec is set for Add=0x130 irq=11 dma=7 and I have single scanner
connected to it. I have read the kernel sources for the Adaptec driver
and there are some hints that parameters may be passed to the card at
boot time but it is indicated that these should be placed in lilo.conf.
Since Mandrake (7.1) uses Grub I am not sure whether Grub will support
this parameter passing; there seems to be no obvious mention in a skim I
did of the Grub docs.
Can I do this with modprobe?
Any help greatly appreciated.
