Ah yes, this is so fun. I had the same problem with an Adaptec 2940
that Linux saw as the first adaptor, but BIOS saw as the second adaptor
and booted off the NCR 53c810 instead.
The fix isn't trivial, but it's not too bad. You need kernel source, of
course.
Once you've got your kernel source ready to go, cd to the ./drivers/scsi
directory, and edit the file "hosts.c". You need to edit the
builtin_scsi_hosts array ... the beginning of the definition looks
something like this (I've got 2.0.35 kernel source)
static Scsi_Host_Template builtin_scsi_hosts[] =
{
#ifdef CONFIG_AMIGA
#ifdef CONFIG_A3000_SCSI
A3000_SCSI,
...
You need to find the #ifdef statement for the Buslogic card and move it
AFTER the #ifdef statement for the appropriate Adaptec card. I told you
it was fun :)
There may be an easier way to do this with boot parameters or something,
but I never figured it out. If someone knows, please enlighten us!
