I looks like the module you'll use is the aha152x, I have some old ISA adaptec cards with that chip, I can't get knoppix 3.1 to recognize them (I haven't tried knoppix 3.2). I can use the card in Libranet 2.0 (debian woody) it has a spare hard drive hooked up to it.

If you have an onboard (built-in) scsi controller or a pci scsi card, to start up knoppix you would use:

knoppix aha152x *+ any other cheat-codes

I don't know if this will work for knoppix on your hardware but it might.

How much memory do you have? Knoppix and most newer linux distro's need quite a bit of memory and a fairly fast processor.
