A "new Adaptec 1505 scsi card"? Well, this card could hardly be new. Anyway! This card is incapable of auto-detect. You *must* supply kernel (or module if you're loading as a module) options to tell the driver what IO, IRQ, etc. you want to use. For instance, in my /etc/lilo.conf file I've got:
append = "aha152x=0x340,9,7,1,1,0,100,1" This is because mine's compiled into the kernel. If I were loading as a module then I'd have a file /etc/modutils/aha152x and inside this file: options aha152x aha152x=0x340,11,7,1,1,0,100,1 This works just dandy for me.
