Try adding the following at the boot prompt:
boot: linux aha2825,address,IRQ,SCSI ID,
Substituting the correct parameters for your device. All the parameters
may not be necessary to recognize your device, e.g. My initial boot look
like such:
boot: linux cdu31a=0x340 aha1542=0x330,buson sbpcd=0
Thus, linux would use my Sony CD, my AHA 1542 SCSI as bus mastering, and
disable CD probing. Since I use lilo I appended my lilo.conf file with
the following:
append = "cdu31a=0x340 aha1542=0x330,buson sbpcd=0"
Remember to run lilo before rebooting!
Hope this helps,
Rob
