What exactly are we > looking for in dmesg, just that the drive gets detected? that and the controller. It is possible you have a controller that is not supported. It is also possible your scsi chain is not terminated properly, or has slight glitches, even if other operating systems work with it. That is unlikely though. Try interupting the boot loader and issue a boot -v from the prompt. but if you can use the installer from the IDE cdrom to install, to the drive on the scsi chain then the controller is supported.
