The problem is:  the root filesystem resides
on a SCSI HD.  The kernel must be able to mount
the root filesystem before anything else can
happen (i.e. insmod).  Therefore, the correct 
SCSI driver must be compiled into the kernel 
(not a module).  Otherwise, it will not be able
to identify the HD that holds the root filesystem.

That's why I suggested the Slackware scsi.s kernel, 
which has all possible scsi drivers compiled into 
the kernel.  The scsi.s kernel should be able to 
identify the SCSI drive, mount the root filesystem 
and then start BL3.

Cheers,
