Okay, details:
I'm guessing termination is the problem as the SCSI bios doesn't detect
the devices. I know the devices are functioning properly and the card
is functioning properly.
No error message, simply no detection
No hang, systems boots normal (except for the lack of OS boot)
It is my boot device - if recompiling the kernel is necessary -AFTER-
this initial problem is solved, I'll address that, however these disks
boot fine and are detected properly on a different scsi card (the
AHA2940)

It's irrelevant at this point, as they're not even detected, however
it's Redhat, 7.3 with kernel 2.4.19.
Probably should have titled this 'OT: ' as at this point, it's OS
independent..
