I'm sorry for my ignorance but, what can "screen" do to my computing needs?
What are the primary use of that package? What is it for?

Just refreshing my memory: The AHA152x series (x=0 means no floppy
support, x=2 means floppy support) used Adaptec's AIC-6260/6360
chipsets, and were ISA and VLB-type. The driver was named aha152x.
This was basically the cheaper cousin of the AHA1542 series, omitting
the better cards' ability to do busmastering DMA -- leading to much
higher CPU load.
Anyhow, I'll bet I know what the problem is.
A lot of Linux kernel hardware drivers attempt to probe for the hardware
they support, and identify their hardware "resources" (IRQs, I/O base
addresses, and sometimes DMA channels) by looking for their option ROMs
(aka BIOSes) -- the cards' onboard firmware. This is particularly
helpful for ISA cards, since ISA's tracking of hardware resources was
always pitiful.
However, a lot of people insert these cheap ISA SCSI cards with the
options ROMs disabled -- especially when they're cheap add-ons to an ATA
("IDE")-based system, where you want system BIOS interrupt 13h's boot
rootines getting mapped to the ATA devices, without the SCSI chain's
boot ROMs confusing the issue.
I'll bet you have the AHA1520B's option ROM (BIOS) disabled via the
card's jumpers. This might even be necessary for your system to
successfully boot (though it might not). But unfortunately, it means
that the card will _not_ be auto-probed successfully -- because the
driver can't find the ROM, and therefore can't map out how to talk to
the card.
If that's the case, then your workaround is to inform the booting kernel
of all the necessary hardware details (what driver, what I/O base
address, what IRQ). See:
http://www.ibiblio.org/mdw/HOWTO/BootPrompt-HOWTO-6.html
If you use LILO, you can pass this stuff as command-line parameters to
the booting Linux kernel by putting an appropriate "Append=" line in
/etc/lilo.conf (and then, as always, re-running "/sbin/lilo -v" to
implement the change). If you're using GRUB or something else, do
whatever's analogous.

i would like to propose a developer's meeting next saturday, july 20.
are you guys interested? i believe we have been scheduling one for quite
sometime now. ASTI is willing to provide the needed facilities.
we'll be discussing the development of the bayanihan version 2.0. we
will
consider all the comments we have received and we hope people are
willing
to volunteer. ASTI is planning to build an opensource community for the
bayanihan
linux development. however, the meeting is not confined on bayanihan
linux alone.
we could discuss any project including the filipino linux documentation
project
and other future projects.
also, we welcome non-technical people who wants to contribute in their
own
simple way (maybe through documentation, website maintenance, etc).

Hmmm. Emacs seems a little intimidating if you're just starting out,
but if you go through the tutorials confident that you can eventually
understand it, you'll survive.
I could show off the funky things I'm doing with Emacs, I
guess. <laugh> But it's not really much - do my mail, look at my
calendar, speech-synthesize a HOWTO in the background while
participating in #linuxhelp in a split window that's between my
outlined notes and my BBDB records... ;)
Don't expect a step-by-step tutorial - there are plenty on the Net,
and Emacs has a cool tutorial inside it - but more like a whirlwind
tour of packages I find particularly useful. <laugh>
Emacs is _so_ cool.
And it's really good for students, too, which is why I'm cc'ing this to licuts.
Want to get together and talk about cool ways to use software for school?

See, I used to use vi. (Let's just forget about my pico phase, okay? ;) )
Of course, vim was _much_ better.
I liked how vim knew how to color all these weird files I'd be
editing. I liked how it integrated with ctags so that I could browse
through source code easily.
I used to switch between vim and emacs. vim for quick hacks, emacs for
extended editing.
Then I discovered all of these Emacs goodies.
I realized I could do so many things in Emacs. I think that's pretty cool.
I tried several mail clients. Liked features from here and there, and
was thinking of learning enough elisp to hack the features together
into one client. Then the people on #emacs clued me onto gnus. gnus is
cool. It's a newsreader that can do mail quite well.
I tried several organizers. Right now I'm using remember.el to jot
down random ideas and outline mode for my school notes. diary takes
care of my schedule and todo takes care of my tasks.
I'm trying out some web browsers. Still haven't decided which one I
like the most. w3's asynchronous operation is great, but it messes up
on some pages. I hear w3m has acquired asynchronous support now.
I can still do vi. I know how to map and map! in order to make my life
easier. I can use hjkl (when I'm not on dvorak) and I can
:%s/foo/bar/g with all the rest of them. But I love emacs. =)
And you know what? I actually find its interface more intuitive than
vi's. Easier to learn, even. Easier to customize. Easier to tweak.
Yes, some people have a hard time remembering all of those control
sequences, but you'll pick them up through practice. You can easily
define your own keymaps, anyway. =)
Wishlist for emacs: Better integration with screen! I want to have new
frames show up in another screen window!

But screen can manage your apps even in console! ;) I get this nifty
little window list in my terminal bar (or as the last line of my
display when I'm in console). Bless those docwriters for putting that

One of the reasons why I tend to prefer X is, well, yes! More keysyms
to play with! I'm tempted to map Win_L to Hyper and Win_R to
Super... ;)

I usually only have one session running, and I invoke screen with screen -x -RR.
That allows me to have the same screen in multiple rxvts when I need it. =)
I regularly use multiuser screen over ssh. I share screens with this
guy in Romania just for the sheer heck of it. (Seriously!)
It's... well, it's an unusual experience. You should try it. It's tons
of fun. You almost feel like a collective mind or something.

OK. Quoting:
Screen: Runs console sessions remotely on your behalf, keeps them open
after you disconnect, with easy reconnection and resuming all running
applications the way you left them. Natural combination with SSH.
The GNU Project's screen utility is one of my mainstays, letting me keep
my most-used applications open and able to be resumed exactly as I left
them, all the time. I normally leave several copies of my preferred
e-mail program, mutt, running, plus the lynx Web browser and slrn for
reading Usenet newsgroups. Screen as a "session multiplexer" will keep
my place in each such session. I reach my machine from wherever I am
using SSH remote login, and then do "screen -r" to reattach all the
running screen sessions to my current terminal.
Screen has a built-in cut-and-paste mechanism reminiscent of the old
Quarterdeck DesqView one. It also has automated session logging,
supports screenshots, configurable window titles, and has a screen-lock
feature. Type "ctrl-a ?" to see a command quick-reference.
Screen's default configuration file is (naturally) /etc/screenrc, which
individual users can override using ~/.screenrc .
For the truly devoted, there's an entire screen-type window manager,
called "ratpoison", http://ratpoison.sourceforge.net/ , with the slogan
"Say goodbye to the rodent".
