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'!) > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of mark > Subject: RE: [newbie] Adaptec SCSI Installation AVA 1505 > > > What error message do you get? > > > On Tue, 27 Feb 2001, you wrote: > > Damn me if it hasn't stopped again.

[newbie] Adaptec SCSI Installation AVA 1505
I have come into posession of an Adaptec AVA 1505 scsi i/f board (isa bus), which, if I can get it running will allow me to use my Colorado tape drive. The board appears to have generated a lot of mails on one group and another. What is common to all of them is that it is implied that the board is usable with the aha152x driver - which certainly comes with the 7.2 distribution. I have set the card's jumpers to use interrupt 9 and i/o port 140. It is installed in my sole, available isa slot. Using the command insmod aha152 aha152x=0x140,9 gives me the message 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 I have tried including the device number (7) in the command. I have tried using modprobe instead (modprobe -a aha152x aha152x=0x140,9,7 etc) If anyone can come up with the magic technique I would be thrilled, grateful, ecstatic (insert adjective of choice). regards Daryl Johnson
