Very Computer

I'm trying to get a SCSI disk up and running.  I'm using an Adaptec
AHA-1510A host adapter card.  I added two drivers: the Adaptec 14xx and
the Adaptec 152x drivers.  I'm only actually using the 152x drivers
right now.  I added in just the hard disk drivers when I reconfigured
the kernel.  I made changes in the drivers/scsi/Makefile -- just
uncommented the line that hard codes PORTBASE, IRQ, etc.  (As per the
SCSI-howto.)

I found after I compiled that I had the wrong SCSI ID, so I've been
booting using options passed to my new kernel through LILO. The exact
line I'm using is:

        nlinux aha152x=0x340,11,0,1

Ok, so things look good for a while.  The controller card is recognized,
it prints a line about it, then it finds my single disk, assigning it
an ID of 1 (not 0?).

And the boot continues until the partition checks.  It doesn't like
/dev/sda, which makes sense since I've never partitioned it.  It does
the rest of the partition checks and...

Nothing.

After the last line of the partition checks, the boot process hangs.  I've
tried a changing the IRQ on the card and in the boot command.  No change.

I'd really appreciate any help anyone could give.

(Sorry to be so verbose, but I'd rather be too verbose than not give
enough info.)

Thanks a lot,

Sean.

Since sda isn't partitioned, what are you trying to use as /root?  Have  
you tried specifying that as well to the kernel?
