You need to load a driver for your card. What type of SCSI HBA are you
using? Either tell us what you've got so we can help you figure out
which driver to use or find out for yourself which module you need.
Then load it with 'modprobe <driver-name>'. Once you know the driver
name, you can edit /etc/modules.conf to add an alias of the form:
alias scsi_hostadapter <driver-name>
to have the module loaded automatically. Some common values for
<driver-name> are:
'aic7xxx' for most Adaptec cards
'aic79xx' for Adaptec Ultra-320 SCSI cards
'sym53c8xx' for most LSI Logic cards (upto and including 53C1010 U320)
