If you are trying to recognize an ST0x or Future Domain TMC 8xx or
9xx controller at install time, you will probably have discovered
that the boot-time arguments aren't available when SCSI support is
modularized, as it is with our install. I think that I've found
how to correctly configure these devices with the seagate module.
(and make sure that you don't use the future domain modules in
this case; it's for the TMC1xxx controllers, not the TMC{8,9}xx
controllers)
You will need to set three parameters: controller_type, base_address,
and irq.
controller_type should be 1 for seagate and 2 for future domain;
base_address should be the base of the shared memory segment
(0xCA000, for example); and irq should be the irq number. So a
typical set of arguments might be
controller_type=2 base_address=0xCA000 irq=5
Please let me know the results of trying this; I'm eager to know
either if it works or doesn't work.
