Can you "modprobe " the device to get the driver to load? If so, and you
want the card active at bootup, you MUST make sure the initrd image has
the driver installed. Building a kernel (or installing one) will not
force the driver to be loaded into the initrd image. To do this, two
conditions must be met:
1) There must be an "alias scsi_hostadapter driver-name " in
the /etc/modules.conf file
2a) You must have a filesystem from the SCSI drive in question
in /etc/fstab that must be mounted at boot
OR
2b) You must tell mkinitrd to force-load the driver by using the
"--with=module-name " option.
