Allen,
I just sent this under the Adaptec 1520 thread, but in case you don't
see it, here it is too.
I compiled aha152x support as a module, and since my RH4.2 system contains
the following in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit:
# Load modules (for backward compatibility with VARs)
if [ -f /etc/rc.d/rc.modules ]; then
/etc/rc.d/rc.modules
fi
I just created an rc.modules with the following:
# Insert module for ZipZoom (aha152x)
modprobe aha152x aha152x=0x140,9
The 0x140,9 are the ioport and the IRQ, substitute yours there. This took
hardly anytime at all. And I didn't have to muck with kernel makefiles.
