Compile the aha152x support INTO the kernel. Then, at your 'lilo boot:'
prompt, type in "linux aha152x=0x140,9". This is ofcourse assuming that
your linux label is 'linux'. You don't need to specify that your card is
at id 7, that is the default. Next, make sure that you don't have the bios
shadowing turned on for the card. Yes, I realize that is how to make the
kernel autodetect the card, you don't want it to do that. Even better,
turn off the plug and play support and hard set your io and your irq. That
keeps the pnp bios from changing your settings when you install a new
graphics card or something. Next, you must compile scsi disk support, and
not just scsi generic support into your kernel. In /proc/devices, you
should have '8 sd' for disks, '11 sr' for cd-roms under block devices, and
'21 sg' under character devices for your generic support. You don't really
need generic support unless you are going to try something like cd writing
and the like. If that doesn't help you, your card's busted.
When it boots up and recognizes the card, edit your lilo.conf file and put
'append="aha152x=0x140,9"' into it to keep from having to type it. Run
lilo. You're all set.
