Wait, the Jazz Jet card is a pci card, but the AHA152x series are ISA
cards. You shouldn't have a Jazz Card with an 1520 bios. The Zip card I
believe is a AHA152x card though. The jazz card is an Advansys card with
an Iomega logo on it. It is the 960U model I think.
To make the Jazz card work, all you have to do is compile into your kernel
the support for the particular advansys card. I don't really know what
the card model is, but it says on the board.
For the aha1520, you have to compile the aha152x support, and then you
have two options. At boot, you say:
LILO boot: linux aha152x=<io>,<irq> for instance
LILO boot: linux aha152x=0x340,11
Your other option is to put an entry into your lilo.conf file. The line
looks like this:
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=linux
root=/dev/sda1
read-only
append="aha152x=0x340,11" #this is the line you add
If you compile it as a module, then you have to make changes to your
modules.conf file. You shoule have a like that says:
alias scsi_hostadapter off
change off to aha152x. Then at the bottom, add the line:
options aha152x aha152x=0x340,11
Now the module should load correctly.
