The aha152x doesn't have a BIOS, so it cannot report to the driver at
which address/irq it is using. You must supply this information to the
driver.
If you have support compiled directly into the kernel for this card, you
can use lilo to pass the options:
LILO: linux aha152x=0x340,11
where 0x340,11 represent your base address and IRQ. If you have it
configured as a module, add the following to /etc/conf.modules:
alias scsi_hostadapter aha152x
options aha152x aha152x=0x340,11
Then "mt -f /dev/st0 status" should work correctly.
