RE: [newbie] Adaptec SCSI Installation AVA 1505

2001-02-28 Thread Daryl Johnson

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

  At Last!
  
  I found a doc which suggested that the silk screening of the 
  jumpers on the
  board was faulty but use the diagram instead in the online manual 
  available
  on the Adaptec site.
  
  I checked and found that I WAS using the correct jumper for IRQ 9 
   and also
  port 0x140, neither of which were causing conflicts in the tables.
  
  On a whim I jumpered the board top use port 0x340 and tried the insmod
  command
  
  insmod aha152x aha152x=0x340,9,7,1,1,0,500,0
  
  and the board loaded! scenes of riotous joy
  
  All I have to do now is find out which tape device in /dev my Colorado
  likes.  Sheesh.
  
  Thanks Mark

   Try this:
  
   insmod aha152x aha152x=0x140,9,7,1,1,0,500,0
  
   Don't ask me what it all means, but it works on this card.
