Everything I read about getting my kernel to support my Zip Zoom
accellerator card and the Zip drive plugged into it suggests I
shouldn't have much trouble, and yet I can't get it to work.  

When I boot up the kernal I've built with SCSI support (as described
in the ZIP-HOWTO), I get the first two expected messages "scsi0 : ..."
and "scsi : 1 host."  After that however, there is a pause and then the
message "scsi : aborting due to time out..."  along with a bunch of
other stuff that means nothing to me.  (I would paste the messages here
but for some reason the text is not making it into my system's syslog or
messages file as they normally do.)

The card and drive work fine under DOS/Windows, so I wouldn't suspect
bad cables, hardware to be the cause.  If anyone has had some experience
with this card under Linux, I would greatly appreciate any tips.

Here are some additional bits:
   +  I'm using as an argument at the boot prompt:  aha152x=0x140,10,7,1
      This corresponds to the I/O address and IRQ hardware jumpers in
      use on the card.

   +  When configuring the kernel, I said yes to SCSI disk support, no
      to tape and generic support, and specified Adaptec 152x as the
      SCSI card

   +  I have also have a modem and sound card, but for this particular
      kernal, I have not compiled in support for sound and networking.
      The sound card normally uses an IRQ of 11.  

Many thanks,

Hello-

I am having problems too. However, shouldn't the 7 be a 6 or 5 for
SCSI ID?

Like the little switch on the back?

After playing around with the Interrupts and memory addresses I ended up
using:

aha152x=0x140,9,5,1

It started right up.  (I was trying to use IRQ11 and 0x340 -- my
memory utils said they were free- but they wouldn't work -- oh well)

I made sure the switch was on 5.

Don't forget to format and make a disk writable before hand - it
takes a while.

I am not sure where my other posting is but I got this to work with

IRQ 9 and memory 140

According to the authors the 7 should be left at 7  (not the 5 or 6 on
the drive).

Sounds like you are on the right track.  I have that adapter running a Jaz.  Move the other stuff (or remove) and try the adaptor on irq 11.  Also ck termination and cables.  Compile the SCSI not as module.
