Have you tried passing the interrupt and io address settings as arguments to modprobe? i.e. "modprobe aha152x irq=11, io=0x340" It is better to debug modules from the command line using "modprobe" (to load) and "rmmod" (to remove modules). Once you have found the correct parameters to pass to modprobe you can modify "/etc/modules.conf". You shouldn't really have to modify boot.local to load modules, all the configuration should be done in "/etc/modules.conf" It may be worth while reading the documentation on the device driver. Have a look at "/usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/README.aha152x". Also see "/usr/src/linux/Documentation/modules.txt". best regards.... On Tuesday 17 Dec 2002 3:17 pm, Tony Atkin wrote:
I have been trying to set up a network scanning station using a scsi scanner and SANE on a Linux machine so that a single scanner can be used by people on other computers in the vicinity on mostly windows clients - with some success - sort of - things are still very flakey. I still have one major problem. The scanner (epson GT9500) has an old ISA SCSI card. I have not been able to figure out a way of getting the Linux box to load the kernel module for the scsi card (aha152x) automatically so I am reduced to the command line - modprobe aha152x . Tried putting this in boot.local but just succeeded in disabling ethernet when it rebooted!! Don't ask me how that happened, the only connection I can think of is that they are both isa cards. Module confuse me -- any ideas welcome Running on SuSE 8.1 Cheers Tony
