Re: mystery scsi driver

["Abdullah A. Al-Humaid" <humaaa0f aramco com sa>]

I had similar problems with an adaptec 1520, I wanted to change the irq from 11 to 12, but the system still looks
for it in 11 even though I changed the conf.modules entry. Unfortunately I could find anyone to help me here.
