Hello, I'm new to this list, and seem to be at the end of my rope on
this problem. I have a hard-copy of the howto for zip installs, and it
does me no good at this point. I have the scsi version of the zip
insider installed, and working under Windows NT, but can't get the host
adapter to be recognized under Linux. The card is set to IO port 0x140,
irq 11 by the jumpers. The drive is set to scsi id 0 with the
termination jumper installed. The zip-zoom card I have installed is an
aha-1510 scsi host adapter by Adaptec. I recompiled my kernel (2.0.35
Slackware) using the scsi option, and included the support option for
the 152x/1510. I have /etc/lilo.conf with the append = line for the
scsi host adapter settings all set to the appropriate settings via the
howto for zips/scsi. The boot text shows that the command line is
accepted, the bios on the card is recognized, and it begins loading up.
But no matter what I set the card jumpers to, or the lilo.conf file
settings for the card, I always get "possible wrong irq" followed by:
scsi: aborting command due to timeout : pid 0 ,scsi 0, chn 0, id 0, lun
0 test unit ready 00 00 00 00 00
It repeats this line about 12 times incrementing the pid and id numbers
once every other repeat. And as you may guess... My zip drive won't
work. I've tried everything I can think of. I've changed the card irq
settings, the card io settings, (as well as the appropriate lilo append
command) and have come to the end of my limited knowledge, and any that
I can find in faq's and howto's. I'd appreciate contact from anyone
with experience on this matter for some resolution.
