I have a friend here at work with a Dock II and he did get the SCSI
working. You will need to patch and then rebuild the kernel. The
patch needed is in drivers/scsi/aha152x.c. You need to add a new
signature to the signatures[] array. If you look in the file you
will see a part like this:

  { "Adaptec AHA-1520 BIOS", 0x102e, 21 }, /* Adaptec 152x */
  { "Adaptec ASW-B626 BIOS", 0x1029, 21 }, /* on-board controller */
...

Add to the list:

  { "Adaptec BIOS:AHA-1532P", 0x1c, 22 }, /* TP Dock II */

This should then let Linux find your SCSI controller.

It will with the above patch. Let me know if there are other problems.
