Well, if it's a module then you'll need to build an initrd and pass that
to the kernel as well. Much easier to actually put the SCSI driver into
the kernel....you're always going to need it! Do a config again and answer
yes instead of module, then rebuild the kernel. Also make sure you've got
SCSI disk supprt and support for whichever filesystem you're using
(ext2/ext3 etc...).
