aha152x driver compiled as built-in is ignored at kernel statup with gentoo-2.4.20-r2 but load ok with vanilla-2.4.20 No message is displayed at all. .config file is the same. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.make menuconfig and select [*]aha152x scsi driver along with scsi cdrom and tape support 2.make bzImage 3.boot with it Actual Results: Driver is simply ignored Expected Results: Driver should be loaded and attached drives listed (cdrom & tape)
Please see http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581 It looks like 2.4.20-gentoo-r5 uses backported code. IMHO gento-2.4.20 should stick to driver from 2.4.20-vanilla. Anyway, I'm back to vanilla.
the driver for your card in gentoo-sources-2.4.20-r5 is the *same* as the 2.4.20 vanilla. try diffing aha152x.c & aha152x.h between the 2 sources and see for yourself. at this point you've provided a brief hardware description, no .config, no message out (ie. dmesg). i cannot help fix this without more info.
