Hi,

I think the subject says it all. When I try a "modprobe aha152x", the
prompt never returns in 2.3.33. lsmod shows the following (besides
lots of other modules):

aha152x 24660 (initializing)
scsi_mod 73616 0 [aha152x]

But this initializing never completes as to lsmod. However
dmesg says everything is OK:
aha152x: auto configuration: ok, detected 1 controller(s)
aha152x0: vital data: PORTBASE=0x140, IRQ=9, SCSI ID=7,
reconnect=disabled, parity=enabled, synchronous=disabled, delay=100,
extended translation=disabled
aha152x: trying software interrupt, ok.
scsi0 : Adaptec 152x SCSI driver; $Revision: 1.7 $
scsi : 1 host.

So the driver itself seems satisfied whereas kmod doesn't know this.
modutils are:

peter@eduard:~ > depmod -V
depmod version 2.3.8
depmod: Can't open /lib/modules/2.3.33/modules.dep

The last message "Can't open..." is also funny, the file exists and is
world-readable. Maybe it's the unfinished insmoding.

The same configuration works fine with 2.2.13.

Greetings

Peter B
