I have a Future Domain 950 SCSI card with an older 8 bit bios (the card is 16
bit bus). LILO refuses to find the card and reports that it is looking for
it on interrupt 5. My card only supports irq's 10, 11, 12, 14 and 15 via
jumpers. Any suggestions besides getting a new card. Under DOS and Windows I
overlay a Future Domain 16 bit bios but this isn't possible with LILO.

PS I have installed Linux on my other system but I wanted to use this second
computer exclusively for Linux with the 950 card.

Thanks

Mine works fine. I don't think you have a lilo problem, you need to
give a command-line parameter to the kernal.

<kernal-name> <card_setup>

ie.

Mine is

vmlinuz tmc8xx=0xca000,5

the ca000 is the base address of the card, make sure you use as many
positions as I did (Ie 0xc0000 or 0xd0000), the 5 is the interrupt, use
yours.
