Yes I read the BootPrompt-HOWTO, that's where I got the
append = "aha1542=0x234" syntax. However, the driver source
code is where to get the module parameters (as per this same
HOWTO). In the aha1542.c file, there is a section that
explains why you cannot pass IRQ or DMA parameters. The
driver was apparently "upgraded" to issue "request_{irq,dma}
calls that query the board for that info. I suspect that
the reason the module can't find the IRQ for the board is
because it can't find the board. This was working fine
before I changed the base_io, and it still works fine under
DOS/WIN. I'm sure I just need to properly inform the driver
module of the new base_io address (0x234).
Does anybody know how I can tell what this value is set to?
I mean I set aha1542=0x234 in lilo, but how can I tell if
its been set in the kernel? Can anybody tell me if I even
set it correctly? It looks good to me, using the aha1542.c
file as a guide, but I'm rather new at this. By the way,
I upgraded to kernel 2.0.12 last night, but no magic.
Thanks in advance
