I'm trying to get an Adaptec AHT-1460 SlimSCSI card to work with FreeBSD 2.2.5.
Using "pccardc dumpcis" I see two configuration indexes:
0x9 port 0x340 irq 4 5 (default)
0x8 port 0x140
I've modified the io and irq lines to include the above ranges and have
disabled (in the BIOS) the devices that use these irqs - though the boot up
messages say that the pcic is using irq 4. My pccard.conf entry is:
card "Adaptec, Inc." "APA-1460 SCSI Host Adapter"
config 0x09 "aic0" 5
insert echo inserted
remove echo removed
My kernal config file entry is:
controller aic0 at isa? port 0x340 bio irq 5 vector aicintr
Yet all I get are:
card inserted, slot 0
... driver allocation failed for Adaptec, Inc.
messages. I've also tried 0x8 and different irqs but still the same message.
The annoying thing is that I KNOW that this card can work, I used it with
the PAO boot disc to install FreeBSD from a SCSI CD-ROM drive! I also know
it works with Win95 (where the device manager says it uses irq 10 port
340). Does this card work with stock FreeBSD or do I have to use PAO. I
would like if possible to use FreeBSD-stable (to match the machines I've
setup at work) but I don't want to waste time downloading patches if it
won't work in the end.
My computer is a Toshiba Libretto 70CT english version.
