you need an initrd file for your installation. boot with a floppy and
mount the root partition somewhere.

mkinitrd /boot/initrd_kernel_id.img kernel_id

example:

mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.2.17 2.2.17

look in your /lib/modules and /boot directories for a list of the
kernels that you have available

put the following line in /etc/lilo.conf below the image definition

initrd=/boot/initrd_kernel_id.img

run lilo

reboot

and your system should be able to find the scsi drives.

There is no scsi support when you boot without an initrd image (initial
ramdisk)
