BasicLinux comes with a generic IDE kernel.  If you have
SCSI devices which you want to access from BasicLinux,
you can download a suitable kernel from the Slackware 3.5
site.

No, you should use one of the Slackware 3.5 kernels.

No, if you require an additional module, you should 
download it from the Slackware 3.5 site.

You should find a kernel at the Slackware 3.5 site
that will allow you to do this.
