SCSI card module trouble

[James Bond]

Hi, I just found out that my old scsi card is supported by linux
It is an adaptec aha-1535a. According to the SuSE site, it should use the module aha152x.o

however, everytime I do an insmod aha152x.o, I get this error message

aha152x.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid
IO or IRQ parameters

Does anyone know what this means or, how to fix it, either by manually adding lines to a conf file, or, using a SuSE supplied utility.

Thanks

this card can be setup but is a pain in the *** as it shares a common module with simular cards in the series.You have to pass parameters to it in conf.modules or modules.conf to get it to work.I suggest a search on the net for linux hardware setup and see if that helps.I never used that card so I cant go any farther with assistance. :(

Ok, I found some settings, but, there are a bunch of numbers on the dip switches. Since I got into computers fairly recently, I am not familiar with the meaning of the numbers (I barely know how to use them) -- a product of the PnP era.

If, for example, I have 330H, does this mean a setting of 0x330, or, does it translate to something else.

thanks
