I don't think your issue is compiling the module into the kernel. I think
it is a corrupt boot sector or the /boot partition is past the 1024 cyl
limit. Did you remove all IDE drives from the system? I had problems with
the BIOS on my machine here at work with having both an IDE and SCSI drive.
The BIOS was bound and determined to use the boot sector of the IDE to get
going which, in my case, had an old Linux boot sector, giving me the 'LI'
prompt. If I used the emergency floppy that the install let me make, I
could boot into the correct partition with no problems. I eventually
figured out the way that the crappy Phoenix BIOS wanted to be set to ignore
the IDE properly.
This next item is slightly off topic...
Why are you mating a 9GB SCSI drive to an ISA controller? That's a recipe
for a system slower than IDE. Slap in a 29xx PCI controller which has the
bus bandwidth the hard drive needs.
