Hi all.  I have an aic7xxx for my hard disks, and an aha152x for my jaz.
I have the aic7xxx and disk support compiled in the kernel, but would like
to load the aha152x as a module.  Currently, using modprobe to load the
module works fine, but using kerneld it doesn't work.

'mount /dev/sdc1' simply reports 'not a valid block device', and there
aren't even any syslog messages.

In conf.modules I have:

alias scsi_hostadapter aha152x
options aha152x aha152x=0x340,12

and I've even tried adding:

alias block-minor-8-33 aha152x

which also has no effect.  Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?  I've
read that you can't have multiple scsi adapters as modules, but here I
only have one, and it still doesn't work..

Thanks for any ideas,
Dave Wreski
