As a followup to my orginal plea for help...it now works!
<BR>
<P>The problem was that I didn't have a /dev/scanner. I linked /dev/sga to
<BR>
/dev/scanner and the module loading now works. Seems that my older
<BR>
installation did have the link; the existing one didn't.

<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; I can use 'modprobe aha152x' and all works.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; [ ... ]
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; Unfortunately, it doesn't make any difference how many times I try
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; command. Just get the same error message.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &gt; I'm wondering if I need a alias in the conf.modules file?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; Do you have a line:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; alias scsi_hostadapter aha152x
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; in your modules.conf file? If not, you should try it with
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; this line. This tells the modules system that if something
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; wants access the SCSI system the host adapter driver for the
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; aha152x needs to be loades. Otherwise the system does not
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; &gt; &quot;know&quot; which adapter is installed.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Well, I didn't. I do now in conf.modules (I even rebooted the system,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; and I'm not sure if this is necessary to do or not??)
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; alias scsi_hostadapter aha152x
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; post-install sg modprobe aha152x
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; options aha152x aha152x=0x140,9
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; But it makes no difference. Still get the 'no devices' error message.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; Doesn't appear to be anything useful in the log files either.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; I can now do a 'modprobe scsi_hostadpter' instead of 'modprobe aha152x'
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; and then run xsane. So, the alias command is taking effect. But, still
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; no auto-magic! Other suggestions?
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
