Hi all,

I'm using Red-Hat 5.0 and want load the module for aha152x to access the
zip-drive. I dont want to compile it into the kernel. If I start:
modprobe aha152x="0x140,9,7,0" 
there is no output (and no module loaded -> lsmod). The parameters are
right. So I want to load the module with:
insmod aha152x
this givs the following error message:
scsi: 0 hosts
./aha152x.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
I dont know why I get this message and I don't know how to parameters
like port, irq... to insmod or to the module aha152x.

I readed that I need /etc/conf.modules so I have created it:
/sbin/modprobe -c|grep -v '^path' >/etc/conf.modules
I have added the following to the conf.modules
alias scsi_hostadapter aha152x
I wanted also to add some otions like 
options aha152x irq = 9
but it does not work.

I have read in the kerneld HOWTO that there should be the libgdb to run
kerneld. So I have copyed the libs to /lib because I have the root and
the user directorys on separate partitions (and hard drives). If I
booting Linux I get:
starting kernel services:
and from the command: ps -ax get following output
TTY STAT TIME COMMAND
 ?    S  0:00 /sbin/kerneld
Is kerneld running ?

And know I dont now anything what I should do to start the module
aha152x, please help.
