howto detect adaptec scsi card? ( post #1)

hi every body,
( Sorry for this new post, I didn't receive answer in the debian forum, I try it here )

I have a scsi card for a cd writer, installed on windows , the properties of it are:
adaptec AHA-150X/1510/152X/AIC-6X60
with I/O 0340-035F
IRQ 09

I installed KNoppix (debian ) which recognize every thing, ISA sound card , video ....
but not my scsi adaptec.
I tried debian 3.0, (at the installation of the system ) in the scsi module, aha152X is listed , but when I check to install it gives the error
/lib/modules/2.4.18bf24/kernel/drivers/scsi/aha152X.o : no such file,
I didn't understand, If the driver is listed this means it exists ?

or maybe my card is not aha52X , there is not possibility to choose more closer divers in the list.
Why windows gives this property ???

Neither redhat 7.3 nor 8.0 ( i didn 't test 9.0) recognize it !!!


any way, Where can I find an appropriate divers, and how to add it as a module (whithout the complete compilation of the kernel),
thank you very much

What's the output of, and I really hope this is a PCI card:

/sbin/lspci

With regards to the SCSI controller.

hi
thanks finegan,
unfortunatly, my card is an ISA.
suppose I can find the driver , (source program)
how to add it as a module without recopiling the kernel.

thanks
best regards

So I'm a bit confused, the aha152x module is loaded, but the scsi device wasn't detected? Or it couldn't load the driver? What's the end of "dmesg" look like and what's the output of /sbin/lsmod?

I haven't got a Debian machine any longer, on the rest of the boxes I have all of the aha ISA support is compiled as modules.

Cheers,

Finegan

you'll have to supply the whole device parameter like this :
insmod aha152x aha152x=0x340,11,7,1,1

i guess the meaning of these numbers are like this :
ioport,irq,scsi_id,reconnect, synchronous
