Hi James,
I still have an old PC with a 1510 card and I remember that I had to add
a line in /etc/lilo.conf so that the proper driver would be
used/activated/loaded at boot time. The SCSI how to most likely has this
stuff. There is another possibility. I don't remember if the latest
kernels use the insmod command to handle this old card. I used to place
insmod BusLogic
in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
For another PC with a BusLogic controller that has a BIOS. The newer
kernels (or is is the stuff Red Hat adds) autoprobe at installation, so
I no longer have to modify /etc/rc.d/rc.local for this PC.
If you know the name of the driver module for the aha1520 (is that it?),
you might try the command
# insmod aha1520
and if it works, put it in /etc/rc.d/rc.local . You might have to locate
the driver if it is not in the modules directory.
Good luck and let us know how you solved it.
regards,
Peter Koren
