In his recent message, Michel Eyckmans mentioned a system in which he has
two Adaptec SCSI cards - an ISA model and a PCI model - where the VLB
model was scsi0 and the ISA model was scsi1.

In my system, I have an AHA2842VL and an AHA1540A.  I want the 2842 to be
scsi0, and the 1540 to be scsi1.  No matter what I do with LILO and the
cards' settings, the kernel (2.0.31) always makes the 1540 be scsi0,
which is wrong since it does not install its BIOS and the boot device is
on the 2842.  Is this a pitfall of using VLB and ISA together? Is it
possible for Michel to have the PCI card be scsi0 only because it is a PCI
card?

To Michel, and others, how do I tell the kernel that the 2842 card is
scsi0 and that the 1540 card is scsi1?

Thanks!
Jay

p.s. here are the cards' settings:

1540A irq 11, 0x234, dma 5, 0xCC000 (BIOS enabled, but won't function
                                     because card I/O addr is not 0x330)

2842  irq 14, 0x1C00, 0xc8000 (BIOS)
