ISA SCSI card in Python
I have an Adaptec 1502 SCSI card which is of the pre-PnP
ISA jumpered variety. Refreshingly, it is documented on
the silkscreen, so I know it's set up for I/O=140h and
IRQ=9.
But, in installing Debian 2.2, I didn't see where you can
give it this information. It seems like there should
be a driver module for it, but there's no specific mention
of this card, and "scsi-generic" doesn't seem to take
any arguments (that is, there's no dialog box to enter
arguments for it).
Am I missing something obvious here? Surely this doesn't
require a custom install disk or anything -- SCSI is
popular and this card is listed in the Hardware HOWTO as
a supported one.
An (unrelated?) problem involves the booting process: when
I try to boot directly from the hard drive, it stops after
printing the "LI" (from "LILO") and hangs up indefinitely.
I've seen this before, but I can't remember where. Anyway,
it worked with Debian 2.1, so I don't really understand
why it would mess up now. What is it trying to do at that
point?
Thanks in advance,
