If anyone knows where I could get Linux drivers for Adaptec AVA-1505
SCSI card that would help !!!

Or maybe could you help for the string (I have no idea the way it work)
to enter to
make it work at last !!!
something like modprobe aha152x aha152x=0x140,9,7 ????

Actually, I can't install Linux on my computer because I don't have any
IDE CD-ROM
and the install package is
unable to read the f...k.. names on Win98 which are Rpms instead of RPMS

and so on...

Thanks to all.

Gef.

Well your module arguments look good as long as they are right...mine is
0x140,0,1 though cuz my card is device zero on the scsi chain...with yer
problem of HD install rename rpms back to RPMS(u do know that whatever its
named to windows explorer will show it as Rpms, to really see go to a dos
prompt and do a dir on the directory above it, RedHat in this case) then go
to www.redhat.com and in the errata section are some new boot disks to fix
that bug with the HD install

No, the aurguments don't look good, at least from here. Mime works quite
well so far, but if you check the jumpers, and put it on the alt
position, giving an 0x340 address, and use its apparently fixed IRQ of
11, then it should work.  I've had several drives on it and it
recognized them all.

modprobe aha125x aha152x=0x340,11,7

For some reason, the default 0x140 address is out of the linux kernals
range, I don't seem to be able to make it be recognized at the 0x140
address.

Cheers, Gene

1. Adaptec AVA-1505 adapter and Chinon CD-535?

I have a Adptec Altra Lite CD-ROM SCSI controller (Adaptec "AVA-1505
TOTAL CD KIT" adpater) which is supposed to be a 16-bit SCSI-2 host
adapter for CD-ROMs.  However, the documentation says that this adapter
is specifically designed for DOS and Windows <g>.

Anyway, using the latest InfoMagic SlackWare (4-CD Developers edition --
it arrived yesterday) I created my Linux BOOT disk and did the following:

        BOOT: ramdisk aha152x=0x340,11,7,1

The adapter documentations specifically mentions IRQ 11, port address
340, and host adaptor SCSI ID 7 as default values.

When I continue my booting process, Linux does indeed recognize my SCSI
host adapter and CHINON CD-ROM, no problem.

THIS IS WHERE THE NEWBIE STUFF STARTS: Now, if I type

        # mount

I only see my hard drive.  Also when I run setup, everything works OK
until the end when the setup process begins.  At that point setup reports
a lot of not-so-friendly messages including: "SCSI device
time-out", the CD-ROM spins forever, setup does nothing more.

What am I doing wrong?.  Is it a problem with my Adaptec controller -- I
have an old 8-bit Future Domain SCSI CD-ROM controller: should I try that
instead?.

Thank you in advance,
