Check out the Hardware Compatibilty HOWTO, I remember seeing something
special on the aha1520. Can't remember what it was though. If you do it it
going you 'might' have to add an 'append' statement to your /etc/lilo.conf
to keep it going. Check out the lilo manel, aswell as the boottime howto (i
think it was called that).

Slackware is very different in regards to how the system is installed
(thats the major difference). Those image file are the only offical ones
around. However your can find afew others with a little searching.
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/ ????? has an image file that was
made for people that had burnt their own cd's with the joliet filesystem.
There is also an image file ftp://ftp.dialnet.net/pub/linux/ ????? that was
made for people that were having problems getting their aha2940uw scsi
adapters working. There are afew other images on
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/home/ ?????/IMAGES but I don't know what they are
for, and I didn't notice any readme files that explained what they were for
(I was quickly searching around in hopes of finding
portslave-?.??.i386.rpm, no such luck. I had to do it by hand with the
tarball. =).
