AVA1505 and Linux SCSI drivers
Alain Monvoisin
I got a snapscan1236 with its AVA1505 SCSI controller a couple of years
ago. Installed it without any problem under Windows but used to work
with Linux and intend to extend my SCSI set of peripherals.
I've heard that AHA152x driver works for my host controller, if the
parameters was overwritten at kernel boot time. I watch under Windows
their values, that is IRQ9, I/O@=0x140. pass them with the command line,
then LILO, then recompiled the driver forcing the parameters. Nothing
works :

Useless to say that I've tried all the IRQ values possible. Has someone
experienced the case ? or has an idea ?
Thanks in advance.
