I noticed this in the 1.3.3 kernel. Not being a guru by any stretch of
the imagination, I didn't mention it when I subscribed to this list.
The problem seems to be that the IRQ that is autoprobed is incorrect. I
have my 1522s on IRQ12, and I found it necessary to specify the
parameters "aha152x=0x340,12" on the command line. It now is in my lilo
config, and when I compiled 1.3.20, I just copied it over to that lilo
entry rather than have to boot an extra time.
I seem to recall that I had to do this for lp1, and possibly for my
Mitsumi CD.
At least the 2940W gets probed properly....
