I don't think you can edit lilo.conf to influence the parameters to a
module[1] - you change lilo.conf to alter parameters passed to the kernel
proper - modules receive parameters from /etc/modules.conf or
/etc/conf.modules, iirc.
The line should look something like:
options aha152x aha152x=0x340,11
or manually:
insmod aha152x aha152x=0x340,11
or possibly
insmod aha152x.o aha152x=0x340,11
Assuming aha152x is the driver you need to use for the 1505.

will correct all this if it's wrong.
