If you boot from a boot disk with the kernel on, does it find the
adaptor? If you have IDE disks, does the BIOS allow a fallback to
booting from a SCSI disk? Is the BIOS on the card enabled? Are all the
SCSI drivers compiled into the kernel or as modules? (They have to be
in the kernel to boot from the SCSI disk). If all those answers are
yes, then the only thing I can think of is that you may need to re-run
LILO (it needs to be run anytime the kernel file changes).
As far as the DIP switches, here's the meanings:
1&2: BIOS address
- 1 off, 2 off - C800h - C8FFh
- 1 on, 2 off - D800h - D8FFh
- 1 off, 2 on - D000h - D3FFh
- 1 off, 2 off - BIOS disabled
3&4: I/O address
3&4 off: 220-22Fh; 3 on, 4 off - 200-20Fh; 3 off, 4 on - 110-11Fh;
3&4 on - 100-10Fh
5,6,7: IRQ
5 on - disabled, 5 off - enabled
6&7 off - 15; 6 on, 7 off - 14; 6 off, 7 on - 11; 6&7 on - 10
8 - on = synchronous xfer, off = async
9 - on = floppy controller enabled, off = disbaled
