This PC boots fine from a floppy, but I've long since forgotten what
parameters were given to lilo to do so. I do know it boots off of
/dev/sda2 which is the root part.
I just got it to boot from LILO on /dev/sda by adding disk/bios parameters
(it has a ide disk as /dev/hda - with no bootable partitions). Now I get
this. It's an old 486 with ISA cards.
loading aha1542 module
/lib/aha1542.o: invalid parameter parm_io
I have run mkinitrd like so:
[root@bitsy /root]# mkinitrd -f -v /boot/initrd-2.2.14-5.0.img 2.2.14-5.0
Using modules: scsi/aha1542.o
Using loopback device /dev/loop0
/sbin/sash -> /tmp/initrd.721/bin/sash
/sbin/insmod.static -> /tmp/initrd.721/bin/insmod
/lib/modules/2.2.14-5.0/scsi/aha1542.o -> /tmp/initrd.721/lib/aha1542.o
Loading module aha1542 with options io=0x330
A succesful boot (from floppy) logs this:
Jul 31 20:47:23 bitsy kernel: Configuring Adaptec (SCSI-ID 7) at IO:330,
IRQ 10, DMA priority 7
Jul 31 20:47:23 bitsy kernel: scsi0 : Adaptec 1542
so I don't see why the args would be wrong..
conf.modules:
alias scsi_hostadapter aha1542
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias eth0 ne
alias eth1 ne
options ne io=0x340,0x300 irq=9,5
options aha1542 io=0x330
How do I tell what options are given to insmod in both cases?
any and all help apreciated.
