Expected Results: Driver should have loaded Additional info: This system is a 7.3 (2.4.18-4) to 8.0 (2.4.18-18) upgrade, the command in question is run from /etc/rc.modules After upgrade it simply fails.
Also encountered this bug after upgrade from 7.3 (all patches installed) to 8.0. Tried editing /etc/pcmcia/config.opts to disable/allow various IRQs but to no avail. RH 8.0 can't seem to see the Jaz/Adaptec 152x cardbus adapter that was working under 7.3. This looks a lot like bug #67285 from 7.3. Machine is an IBM A21p.

As a quick workaround, I rolled the kernel in 8.0 back to 2.4.18-10 and now it works.
Saw this with the 2.4.18-5 kernel also.
An errata has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2002-206.html
The errata probably helps people with installed systems that are adding the aha152x card to their system, but I need a new driver disk (pcmcia.img or pcmciadd.img) so that I can get the aha152x module loaded before installating RH8.0 to my external SCSI drive.
*** Bug 76678 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Ditto on the need for a driver disk.
