    I have installed an Adaptec 29160 SCSI controller in my Alpha ES40 running
    Tru64 5.1. It appears from the reading I've done online that this will work
    using the 'aha_chim.mod' driver. I've added the following stanza into
    /etc/sysconfigtab trying to get the kernel to use the aha_chim driver to
    power the card:

    aha_chim:
        PCI_Option = PCI_SE_Rev - 0x210, Vendor_Id - 0x9005, Device_Id - 0x80,
    Rev - 0, Base - 0x1, Sub - 0x0, Pif - 0 Sub_Vid - 0x9005, Sub_Did - 0xe2a0,
    Vid_Mo_Flag - 1, Did_Mo_Flag - 1, Rev_Mo_Flag - 0, Base_Mo_Flag - 0,
    Sub_Mo_Flag - 0, Pif_Mo_Flag - 0, Sub_Vid_Mo_Flag - 0, Sub_Did_Mo_Flag - 0,
    Driver_Name - aha_chim, Type - A, Adpt_Config - N

    I got the Vendor and Device IDs from the 'messages' file. Unfortunately,
    the kernel throws this error when the system boots up:

    Sysconfigtab PCI_Option entry 1 invalid.

    How can I tell if the aha_chim driver is being used? Do I need to
    reconfigure and rebuild the kernel?

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
