AVA-1505A, USB

2001-01-11 Thread root
1)I read in the kernel helps that the SCSI driver for Adaptec aha152x 
can drive even the Adaptec AVA-1505 series.
I can't make it run at all.
Can some one, that had the same problem and resolved it, tell me how I 
must configure module or some other to make it run??

2)Somedoby kwnos if is it possible to make a point to point connection 
using the USB port??
If yes, how I must do??

Thank you vary much

P.S. Excuse me for my bad english

I think so, but I don't know how.  The reason I think so is because
some cable modems (or was it DSL modems) can be connected via USB
instead of Ethernet or PCI.

Hi!
I have an AHA1505, (with an unsupported CDR unfortunately) I could
make it work by appending the parameter to the kernel on lilo boot (later
on lilo.conf.
This looks my lilo.conf
image = /boot/vmlinuz
append = "aha152x,7,5,0"
...
I'd suggest you to boot and append the parameters by hand, until you see
the scsi host is detected...
good luck!

When using LILO, you can do as suggested before. As an alternative you can
compile it directly in the kernel by altering
/usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/Makefile. Search for the line CFLAGS_aha152x.o
and add:
-DSETUP0="{0x340, 11, 7, 1, 1, 0, 100, 0, 0}"

These are the defaults from the source (and the card).
Greetz,

Yes, but you need more than just a cable because USB, unlike some buses, is 
designed to have only one master--the host controller. Thus you need a special 
device that sits in between the two hosts. There is currently experimental 
support in the 2.4.0 kernel for NetChip 1080-based USB Host-to-Host link 
devices.
