Hallo aha152x developers,

after upgrade from linux 2.2.8 (2.3.5) to 2.3.14 (2.3.15) I have found support of
my old Adaptec AHA 1510 is broken. Looking more I have found that problem of
this trouble isn't adapter driver, but its LILO args parsing, because:

-- aha152x compiled into kernel and configured by LILO with:
append = "aha152x=0x340,12,7,1 parport=0x378,7,3"
or
append = "aha152x=0x340,12,7,1"
doesn't work (I can see boot message "0 hosts found")

and

-- aha152x compiled as module and initialised by:
modprobe aha152x aha152x=0x340,12,7,1
works correctly.

Note: old Adaptec AHA 1510 have no BIOS.

Because the driver was changed between these versions, but no author was cited,
I am sending this report to aha maintainer and scsi list.
