The hardware browser shows the SCSI adapter correctly, so it is being
detected. It is possible that the sg module is not being loaded, I'll check
it out. Here's what lsmod returns:

SG is NOT listed, but I had assumed (probably incorrectly) that it was
compiled in scsi_mod. I'll re-check.

I'll look for documentation regarding that - I thought that the SCSI card
used the generic sg module.
Many thanks for your help. This is my first time with SCSI devices under
Linux so I'm a little lost.
