question: did you do a make modules_install after make modules?  and did
you compile the scsi card directly into the kernel?  if not, you need to
run mkinitrd and then add the path to the initrd into the kernel string
the PROM passes into the kernel...

this is strange...maybe you did run make modules_install and of course
this erased the old modules directory, so now you are fucked.  i *think*
you can hit ctrl-c when "finding module dependencies" comes up and the
ssystem will boot normally.

this is not a great solution, but may let you continue.
