Mounting a SCSI drive after setting up system on IDE

[Dan Browning (Network Admin)]

I'm trying to mount a SCSI drive on my mandrake5.3 system that was setup on
a 8gb IDE.  Its an Adaptec 2940uw card that I've used with rhl5.2 a million
times, so I know it works, and I haven't changed the termination or cable
setup since I last used it, so that can't be it.

bootup says
scsi: 0 hosts
scsi: detected total
$mount says:
/dev/hda1 on / type ext2 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)

and I cannot fdisk or mount /dev/sda

Do I need to load a driver or something?   I thought SCSI was in the kernel
by
default, or is mandrake 5.3 different in some way?

Thanks for all your help, guys.
