Supplying parameters on the lilo prompt assumes you have support compiled in
the kernel.
There's a number of ways to get this to work:
- Compile support for your base address/IRQ directly into the code. See
./linux/drivers/scsi/aha152x.c and its really simple change. Then recompile
kernel.
- Simply compile support for this card directly into the kernel, then provide
the proper lilo parameters.
- Compile as a module, and add the following to your /etc/conf.modules:
alias scsi_hostadapter aha152x
options aha152x aha152x=0x340,12
This assumes you have kerneld support compiled in the kernel.
