meaning it's not a software/kernel problem. however, i did eventually
manage to fix the problem.. as it was bad wiring/cabling. you see, if
you'd read my original post, i specifically stated that the scsi card
itself was not finding the device. i suppose i should have been more
specific and said something like "i was in the scsi bios of the scsi
card itself, not in linux, and it could not find the device". As it is,
it was my own mistake in the first place, and I apologize for posting to
this list in the first place. the problem was simple: the case of the
machine did not allow an external SCSI-2 connector to connect to the
back of the SCSI card because the sides of the female end (on the card)
were contrained by the width of the slot that the card fit into.
therefore, it was a user error on my part.
but just for the sake of it all...

i've not a clue. but i'm rather experienced with unix in general so it
wouldn't be too difficult to read a few HOWTO's and FAQ's. Now that
i've diagnosed the problem, i can move onto that stage.
