RE: [newbie] Adaptec SCSI Installation AVA 1505
Well, the full story is : Portbase = 0x340this is jumpered on the board IRQ = 9 this too is jumpered on the board SCSI ID = 7 which is fairly standard recconect is enabled parity is enabled synchronous is enabled delay = 500 extended translation is disabled thus we get the command insmod aha152x aha152x=0x340,9,7,1,1,0,500,0 and for a glorious half hour last night that seemed to be accepted so that when I checked KDE/Information/IRQ against 9 it said AHA152x and against KDE/Information/Ports against 340 it said AHA152x. dmesg identified the board and wqas suggesting ftape as a tape device - even though that didn't seem to work. Anyway, now the command insmod etc no longer works, I have the same error message I started with: Using /lib/modules/2.2.17-21mdk/scsi/aha152x.o: init_module: Device or resource busy Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters including invalid IO or IRQ parameters and dmesg says: aha152x: BIOS test: passed, detected 1 controller(s) aha152x0: vital data: PORTBASE=0x340, IRQ=9, SCSI ID=7, recconect=enabled parity=enabled, synchronous=disabled, delay=500, extended translation=disabled aha152x: trying software interrupot, lost. aha152x: IRQ 9 possibly wrong. Please verify. So in the words of the prophet and philosopher Foul Ole Ron - 'buggrit, millenium hand and shrimp, I tole 'em.' (Explanations upon request :o) ) So if anyone has any valid suggestions for my problem... regards Daryl (ps Valid suggestions for my problem do NOT include 'rub ointment on it'!)

Hello, I'm not very sure, but /dev/scd0 is a special device, so it must be mount on a directory (mount -t filesystem /dev/scdo /directory and add the line in /etc/fstab : /dev/directory ext2 noauto,dev=/dev/scd0,... or something like this, look at the other lines ;-)).

The closest I have come is if I type linux at the prompt that comes up with the 7.1 cdrom install disk. Then if I just follow the basics and let it autoprobe it finds the SCSI card and all 4 SCSI devices that I have on the system (1 cdrom and 3 drives). But the stinking install still can't mount /dev/scd0. It seems the location the script is attempting to mount is none existent. Didier Galland wrote: Hello, I have an adaptec aha152b.

Re: [newbie] adaptec scsi aha152x
Thanks Didier for the reply I tried the modprobe, no luck, so I reinstalled. This time just entered 0140,10,7,1 at the SCSI setup option. (the install book not clear here) Only other problem was that I needed to edit /etc/fstab to change the /mnt/zip from the vfat automatically set up to ext2 for linux.. I can access zip disk OK. Another question tho - there doesnt seem to be any way with this system to mount the zip drive on the desktop by right-clicking the zip icon. There seems to be only one icon showing, for either a mounted or unmounted zip drive. I edited /etc/fstab to make the zip and floppy drives noauto for mounting. Bill Hello, I have an adaptec aha152b.

Re: [newbie] adaptec scsi
Seems like a big problem with how popular SCSI is with old time UNIX people. This was not a problem with Mandrake 6.0, 6.5 or 7.0. I always down load a iso file and burn my own CD prior to purchasing a full copy. I won't be buying if it won't work on my system(s). I would think someone needs to get this fixed. I reported this as a bug but still don't see it show up on any of the bug lists. Does anyone know when/if a reported bug will show up? I don't see vary many bugs showing up on ver.7.1 yet but I don't know how long it really takes for them to show. "Eric A.
