Configuring for Generic SCSI? 3
Dave-O asks: "I have a SCSI-II ISA card made by
PELogic (model 1600) that I don't think is directly
supported by the kernel. However, I was lead to believe
(or lead myself to believe) that I could use it as a
generic scsi interface (sg.o) for my scanner. So far,
no luck. I need to pass the scsi cards i/o & irq to the
kernel i'm sure, but I don't know how. I know how to do
it for an ISA card I have a specific driver for, but what
driver do I pass arguments to specifically for generic
SCSI? I appreciate any help anyone can offer."
Actually, I always thought generic SCSI depended on
the existance of a working driver under Linux, so I don't
think this would work, but if I'm wrong, please tell me!
Generic SCSI vs. low level SCSI Support (Score:1)
Using SCSI devices requires two levels of drivers. The low level driver handles setting up the card and scanning the SCSI bus for devices. Once this is properly installed, then higher level drivers are needed for the SCSI devices themselves: i.e. SCSI disk (/dev/sd?), SCSI CDROM (/dev/scd?), SCSI tape (/dev/st? and
A cat of
PEL 1600 and AHA-152x (Score:1)
Only one thing you will probably have to do -- when you boot, add "aha152x=0x340,10,7,1" where 0x340 is the base io address, 10 is the irq, and I honestly forget what 7 and 1 are... The driver is very well documented, so go ahead and check it out.
