Re: more on scsi controllers
Isn't there a "reserve=io_address, length" option you can feed the
kernel to protect against autoprobing? I've had experiences where
another, unrelated driver got to a card first with an autoprobe and
bolloxed everything up. Seems I used a boot line like "linux
reserve=blah,blah aic7xxx=blah,blah" (or whatever card you're trying to
get to work, I obviously was fighting with an adaptec)
It's been a long time though, and I don't have a man page handy.
