AHA-1510A with SuSE 9.0

The AHA-1510A controller is an ISA, no pnp, biosless SCSI controller, that can make your life hard. Use the settings below to start it. Note: if the boot disk is on the controller, it won't boot. Move your kernel on a floppy disk and start from there.

Add the following to /etc/modprobe.conf.local

options aha152x aha152x=0x<port>,<irq>,<scsi_number>,1,1,0,100,0

For example

options aha152x aha152x=0x340,11,7,1,1,0,100,0

Add the following to /etc/sysconfig/kernel

MODULES_INITRD = "<other modules here> aha152x"

Execute as root

# mk_initrd

All of the above have been found in the Internet (if someone thinks I copied from him, just tell me so to refer to him). I' ve tested them in SuSE 9.0 and worked.
