When do you get that message?  Right at the beginning
when the kernel boots?

I don't have any personal experience with SCSI devices,
so I am a little in the dark here.  However, it seems
to me, that there are two possible causes of your
problem.  (1) It's the wrong kernel for your controller.
(2) It's the right kernel, but it needs a parameter
(perhaps in the loadlin line) to activate it.

As far as (1) goes, I suggest you try the scsi.s kernel.  
It is a general-purpose SCSI kernel that works with lots 
of different controllers.

As for (2), I'll do a bit of reading about SCSI and 
see if I find anything that helps.

Cheers,
