OK. Can you modprobe the module for the scsi controller?

cat /proc/scsi/scsi

That'll let you know what devices the scsi subsystem knows about.

That's what I'd think, but when I see device discovery yet can't see the
device I start to have my doubts... :)

That is the only hard drive in the server so it won't boot now :-( Anybody here has any similar experiences with this kernel and the scsi card. Is there any option that I can give at the boot time (asking the driver to use may be deadline io??? or anything else??) to let it move on.
