Hello again, thanks for the reply.

Yeah, I think I understood that getting _some_ more support through sg
would be important.
I used the 2.2.13 sg.c, so now I'm compiling a kernel with the 2.3.25 sg.c
copied into the tree. Maybe it works better.

Another thing, the scsi-adapter-driver (aha152x.o), what should I alias it
to in /etc/conf.modules? Off topic, but I need to find out...

Should sg.o be aliased to something?

Ummm...I think I only have scsi1 or something...hope that's not a
problem. I don't know myself why it says 04.
/proc/scsi/aha152x/0 says $Revision: 1.7 $, if it is relevant...

Yeah. I'll do that, when the adapter is working properly?

Thanks.
