No, you don't need it. It's only for parallel port zip drives. It is, in
fact, only mentioned as being needed by the parallel port zip drive. (Try
reading the howto again).

Your interrupt(or i/o port) is wrong. You have the hardware(or software)
settings wrong. Change either the jumpers or the aha152x= line in your
lilo.conf. Check /proc/interrupts and /proc/ioports to ensure you do not
cause a conflict.

Check these, as well:

In global section of lilo.conf (at bottom):
APPEND = "aha152x=0x140,10,3,1"
# or similar

In Scsi section of .config:
#
# SCSI
support
#
CONFIG_SCSI=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y
# CONFIG_CHR_DEV_ST is not
set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SR is not set
# CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG is not set
#
CONFIG_SCSI_MULTI_LUN is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_CONSTANTS is not set

#
#
SCSI low-level drivers
#
# CONFIG_SCSI_7000FASST is not
set
CONFIG_SCSI_AHA152X=y
# CONFIG_SCSI_AHA1542 is not set
