Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has managed to get a AHA1510B working
with linux? The card is similar to a AHA1510A except it is Plug and Play
(read as evil). I'll just go through what I've done to try and get it
working and if anyone has any suggestions on how to get it working it
would be much appreciated:
I have a dual PPro (Supermicro P6DNE motherboard with both
processors, Matrox Millenium, SB AWE64 PnP with an IDE controller on it,
PCI ne2000 clone, plain IDE hdd, the AHA1510B witch is just attached to a
cdr, IDE CDROM and IDE HDD.
Now, firstly when compiling the kernel (both UP and SMP), I edited
the Makefile in drivers/scsi to disable bios check for the aha1520 driver
(which should also work for aha1510), I also disabled autoconf, and added
the define SETUP0 and set the IO, and interupt to 0x340, 9 respectively.
(This is the setting it uses under winbloze, that works). Second I've
setup isapnptools to initialise both my soundcard and scsi to the same
settings that are used under windows. I then compilied the kernel with
sound and scsi as modules, network card built in, and most other things
variety of modules and built in. I tried this under a 2.0.30 kernel,
2.0.31pre9, and 2.1.42.
Now, after booting linux, and all the PnP initialisation has been
done, I've got in my rc scripts to insmod the sound driver. That all works
fine. At the console after logging in, I insmod scsi_mod, that works fine.
Then I try to insmod aha152x. This is the point where all hell breaks out.
A variety of things happen at this point depending on what kernel. Some of
the things that have happened:
* complains about interupt lost possibly in use, then can either try and
scan the scsi bus, complaining about timeout every time it trys anything
then exits without detecting anything (this is about the best it can go)
* similar to above, but then everything oops, goes Aiee killing interupt
handler then crashes.
*basically mixtures of Oops and kernel dieing.
other (possibly?) relevant info:
modutils-2.1.42
libc-5.4.33
gccversion 2.7.2.1
one PPro is stepping 7, other is stepping 9
umm thats about it.
If anyone has any ideas on how to get the scsi card working it
would be much appreciated, if anymore info is needed just ask. Thanks
Regards
Emmanuel
