thanks Phillippe and Hugo, I've now compiled in the SCSI support I need, 
but now I'm getting a message "cramfs: bad magic", followed by a kernel 
panic about not finding the root fs.

I assume this is not finding initrd properly.

I'm using syslinux, the syslinux.cfg file looks like this:


DISPLAY message.txt
TIMEOUT 40
PROMPT 1
DEFAULT linux
APPEND root=/dev/sda1 ro aic7xxx=reverse_scan noinitrd


I've also tried initrd= instead of noinitrd, and removing initrd support 
from the kernel.
