What is your SCSI card? This information should be known to you,
available from the SCSI BIOS screen, in hardware documentation, or
indicated on the card itself. The corresponding driver should be
identifiable from the Hardware-HOWTO (http://www.linuxdoc.org/).
Use "insmod" to load the appropriate driver, eg:
$ insmod aic7xxx # typical for Adapted 2490 series cards
...or possibly a full path specification:
$ insmod /lib/modules/2.2.16/scsi/aic7xxx.o

Show the output of fdisk -l on this disk.
