SCSI Hard disk not detected.



Hello,
 I am a installing Linux for the first time.

The log file after booting from the Bootdisk  and rootdisk
shows like this:

<4>VFS: Mounted root (minix filesystem).
<7>VFS: Disk change detected on device 02:00

The configuration of the PC is
It has got 2 hard disks
 SCSI ID#4 MAXTOR 7213-SCSI Drive C:
 SCSI ID#6 CONNER CFP1080S Drive D:

It has got Host Apadter AHA1542CF

Host Adapter is present at port #230
The setting for it are:
 IRQ     11
 DMA Channel    5
 SCSI ID    7
 SCSI Parity Checking   Enabled
 DMA Transfer Rate   5.0 MB/sec
 SCSI Termination   Enabled

I have win95 on the C: drive and would like to install Linux on E: drive   
which is the logical partition of the second disk.

Since the log file says that SCSI : 0 hosts detected it is not   
recognizing the hard disks.
With this kind of configuration what shall I do next such that I can   
partition the disk for the Linux native.

I tried to go through the document SCSI-HowTo but could not get anything   
out of it.

Thanks and regards
