Kurt,
Gosh Gee Whiz fellahs...... I installed the 2.0a driver recompiled the
kernel and voilla, nothing was recognized.
Ok, it's clearly part my fault. I'm running a patched (only with 2.0a)
Linux 2.0.35 on a COMPAQ XL 550, so I know the PCI BIOS is mucked up. The
question seems to be, how do I specify my IOBASE and IRQ for my AM53C974 so
that it can be found at bootup. The tmscsim=-1 doesn't contain any of this
info and since the driver isn't found on boot, there isn't a useful
/proc/scsi/tmscsi/7 entry to read or write to.
I have read that if I go into DOS first I can execute a MEMOVE procedure
that remaps the PCI BIOS and may fix this problem. I don't want to do that,
it's ugly. The old AM53C974 version 0.5 driver didn't require this to find
the host adapter. I am hoping the new one won't require it either.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Frank Pursel
