Hiya folks. Slight problem here I'm hoping to get some info on. I
recently acquired an Adaptec AHA1542 SCSI card and a SCSI CDROM drive,
and I would like to put them to use in my box. I'm running Debian 2.1,
kernel 2.0.36. I've got all SCSI related items compiled into the
kernel, not modules yet. I'l worry about that after I get the thing to
work. As it stands, when I reboot I get:
scsi : 0 hosts.
scsi : detected total.
and no other mention of SCSI in any way. As I understand it this means
the card is not being detected. I found the mention in the SCSI HOWTO
about the aha1542.h file needing to be edited. So I tried that, but it
didn't help. I also tried typing the line "aha1542=0x0330" at the LILO
prompt (and yes that is the IO base for the card - that I'm sure of) but
that didn't help either. I also noticed that the SCSI HOWTO is dated 30
August 1996. Is there anything somewhere that might be a bit more up to
date? I've not had any luck finding anything yet.
Anyone have any pointers on getting this card recognized?
