do a 'zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i isa' if /proc/config.gz is present. Otherwise, install the kernel sources and check the .config file in the root directory of the kernelsources (/usr/src/2.6.9-1.3_FC2)

KERNEL means your kernel version,

Install the sources for the kernel and you hopefully will find the file


Hi Stephen,
okay that's fine, the module is already build. Do a 'modprobe -v aha152x' and watch the output. Then do a 'modprobe -v sg' and watch the output (or vice vesa, first modprobe -v sg, then modprobe -v aha152x). And again ckeck the kernel whether the kernel supports ISA card. 

Cheers,
Klaus
