I previously configured correctly an Adaptec AVA-1505 ISA adapter to work
on a P166 machine, but now seems that I can't remember something or that
something doesn't work anymore...
The system is a K6-3/450, 128MB RAM, M/B Tyan S1598, Maxtor IDE HD,
Pioneer EIDE CD, plus a Teac CD writer connect to the SCSI AVA-1505.
The writer works fine with Win98, but using the same settings (I/O port
and IRQ) on Linux (kernel 2.2.10, 2.2.12) I can't get it to work.
Better explained: the board is correctly recognized by 'isapnp', if I run
it, and can be set as I like it.
The driver aha152x in the kernel recognizes the I/O port, but from what I
saw investigating the kernel when it comes to enabling the interrupt and
see if any is coming from the board, it doesn't get any, saying that the
interrupt is "lost".
I tried it with all the I/O ports, and IRQ settings, with kernel 2.2.10
and 2.2.12, compiling the driver in the kernel and as a module.
The only effect I can see is that when trying a 'modprobe aha152x' the CD
writer turns on its LED, and I hear it starting, so at least something
with the port is working.
Maybe it's a total nonsense, but I tried to extend the extend the timeout
value, waiting for an interrupt, and it didn't work.
Any help would be welcome...
