Hello to the list. Have been fighting this problem for several weeks now, trying to get my scanner working in 7.1 Am running the 2.4.7 mantel kernel. Have an Artec A6000C plus. The scanner is supported. Originally tried to set it up with the scsi card that was supplied by Artec. That was a dtc3181e. Followed directions from the Sane site on setting it up. Wouldn't work. Bottom line.... pulled that card out and obtained an Adaptec AVA 1505/1515/152x. Now, I have been led to believe that the only difference between the AVA and the AHA card is that the AHA card is for an ATC board. Anyway, I cannot load the aha152x module. When I do a modprobe of the card with or without parms I get a message "Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO of IRQ parameters" Have tried every combination of parms that I could think of. Windoze id's the card address as "0340-035F, IRQ 9" The aha152x is loaded in the kernel as a module. Have also tried loading it at the command line, "linux aha152x=0x340,9" and as an append statement in lilo, and in /etc/modules conf with an options statement: "alias scsi_hostadapter aha152x" "options aha152x aha152x=0x340,9" Back in the beginning of Sept. there was an exchange re: the aha1542c. A statement was made that the parms for thewse cards are Boot parms, not Module parms. What is the difference and how would that effect how it loads. Very confusing and very frustrating, I am sure that it is probably just a matter of incorrect syntax. Somebody help me out here? Bob S.
