Hi,

I've just bought an Adaptec AHA2920 and have compiled 2.0.30 with the
Future Domain driver.  I'm trying to use an Iomega Jaz drive.

The card and drive are being detected by the BIOS, as information about
them is printed on the screen before LILO cuts in, but Linux won't
autodetect them (`scsi : 0 hosts').  Should this PCI card be autodetected
by Linux?  If so, any idea what may be going wrong?

What command line (fdomain=...) could I use to give Linux a nudge in the
right direction?  I don't know about the port address - I think the card
is PnP.

Setup: Linux 2.0.30 with:
  CONFIG_SCSI CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD CONFIG_SCSI_CONSTANTS
  CONFIG_SCSI_FUTURE_DOMAIN 
(Have I forgotten something obvious?)

TIA,

Nikhil.
