Hrmm..  Tried booting to a knoppix cd, and was able to access the drive 
okay.

I went out on a limb and am trying a different SCSI card..  This one a 
Adaptec 2940..  

Still no attached devices in /proc/scsi/scsi nor is the adapter listed in 
/proc/scsi at all..

Below is a snippit from /var/log/messages
