First, I appologize for asking what has likely been answered many times.
Second, if someone could tell me where to get complete instructions on
setting this up, I would be greatful (pizza level, at least).
Third: the problem described.
Setup: P5, 96Mb, IDE system (ide0, ide1, CDROM), removed floppy-
tape drive (Colorado) to make room for Jaz.
New hardware: Jaz Jet PCI card, AdvanSys chip (ASC 3054B / F01
2AST 040411 / AD2 80300924, connected to Ditto Jaz 2GB.
(Note the advansys.c scsi low level driver addresses the 3050
chip and the 3054 is unmentioned.)
Dos (w/ Iomega.exe driver) recognizes the drive -- though with
only 888,000,000 free bytes (interesting). Cabling therefore
must be correct (yes?).
Messages:
1. No (nada, 0, zip) boot messages. The Jaz Jet card bios
does execute on each boot cycle and find the 2GB drive.
2. The interrupt table does not have an entry for scsi
(expected). The card uses interupt 11 and I didn't find
a way to change it in the bios setup (left at factory
settings, BTW).
3. mount, jaztool, fdisk (<command> /dev/sd[?] (sda)
<options>) all give "Unable to open /dev/sda".
Kernel: 2.0.33 (and downloaded AdvanSys Linux.tgz which turned
out to be identical to the 2.0.33 advansys.c and advansys.h)
snippets from /usr/src/linux/.config:
CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y [probably irrelevant]
CONFIG_SCSI=y <---- *****************
# SCSI support type (disk, tape, CD-ROM)
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y [certainly irrelevant]
# Some SCSI devices (e.g. CD jukebox) support multiple LUNs
# CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN is not set [Jaz Jet boot message says ID 4,LUN 0]
CONFIG_SCSI_CONSTANTS=y [Tried this, nothing in messages or in syslog]
# SCSI low-level drivers
CONFIG_SCSI_ADVANSYS=y <---- *****************
Again, if this is documented in something other than Bob Willmot's 8/5/96
or Drew Eckhardt's HOWTO, don't waste your valuable time repeating the
information. Point me to it.
What I have done was to follow Willmot's suggestions for the 1GB drive,
although that document addresses primarily the Adaptec version of the
Iomega card.
Thank you for any help.
