AHA1505 and 2.6.9 kernel

AHA1505 and 2.6.9 kernel

[Nicola Ricciarelli]

I've a very old SCSI controller, ADAPTEC AHA1505, I use it just to
control an Epson GT5500 scanner. I know .. very old controller ^_* but
sufficient for a scanner. I've selected hardware jumpers of the
controller so it has I/O= 0x140 and IRQ=9  (the only one free IRQ using
windows .. IRQ=11 it has a conflict with ethernet card). The scanner has
ID=2.


* Adding    aha152x=0x140,9,2  in grub.conf nothing occurs
* Adding    aha152x=0x140,9    in grub.conf nothing occurs
* Adding    options aha152x aha152x=0x140,9,2  in /etc/modprobe.conf
and typing   modprobe aha152x nothing occurs
* Adding    options aha152x aha152x=0x140,9    in /etc/modprobe.conf
and typing   modprobe aha152x nothing occurs

all times it says:
 

Nov 27 09:22:03 localhost kernel: aha152x: BIOS test: passed, 1
controller(s) configured
Nov 27 09:22:05 localhost kernel: aha152x: resetting bus...

Nov 27 09:22:05 localhost kernel: aha152x3: trying software interrupt,
lost.
Nov 27 09:22:05 localhost kernel: aha152x3: irq 9 possibly wrong.
Please verify.

PS:  I was missing a couple of infos: I'm using Fedora Core 2 distro and
kernel 2.6.9-1.6_FC2 (but I'm going to recompile the 2.6.9 kernel +
patch 2.6.10-rc2).
