Jason,
By default, Linux doesn't create devices for all the possible scsi disks, I
think it creates them up to /dev/sdh.
Check to see if the devices exist (ls -l /dev/sd*), and if they don't, make
them by running
cd /dev (cd to /dev first, or it will make devices in the current directory)
./MAKEDEV sdi sdj sdk sdl ...
Regards,
Richard
