scsi problem

banj0 · 05-13-2006, 07:17 PM

I have a scsi film scanner (Nikon ls2000) that isn't being recognised. It's attached to an Adaptec AHA 2910 adapter. Have searched for an answer to this but found no solution. It worked with my old computer using Slack 10.2 adaptec.s kernel but not with my new one using the 10.2 sata.i kernel. Was assuming that since sata and the usb card reader were seen as scsi devices then scsi support is enabled. Perhaps it's that this kernel doesn't have complete scsi support but I'm not sure.

thanks in advance for some direction

here it shows up on my old computer

I do not see the module for the scsi card. It would be aic7xxx
To load it use ' modprobe aic7xxx '. If it loads then see if it is seen.

there it is

thanks Brian,

will this enable it to load at startup?

Code:

/sbin/modprobe aic7xxx

and do I mount the scanner or add it to fstab?

Not a slack user so not sure where one can add the command to an autostart script.

or

In /etc/modprobe.conf or if it is /etc/modules.conf add the line
alias scsihost_adapter aic7xxx
