The problem is a result of the modular kernel. There are several solutions.
I have rebuilt the kernel with built-in (not modular) support for the
aha152x driver. The boot parameter or lilo append parameter is then applied
at boot time.
Alternatively, you can load the scsi drivers with the insmod command with
the parameters appended to this command. This can be part of your rc.local
script.
Finally, it is possible to define an alias for scsi_host (or something like
it) in the /etc/conf.modules file. This identifies aha152x.o as the module
to load and, I believe, defines the parameters to be passed to it when it is
loaded. I do not use this method, so I am vague about it, and I may be
inaccurate also.
