SCSI issues

I just installed a SCSI card in my system, but the drives don't show up in dev. DMESG says:

scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 7.0
        <Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI adapter>

Any ideas on where to start? The drives test good with IBM's diag tool.

Re: SCSI issues

The ST336607LC is an Ultra 320 drive. Does the Adaptec 2940 handle this drive? It may be the wrong card.

Re: SCSI issues

I can get U160 drives to work on an -UW controller, but U320 might be a different beast, although it should be downwards-compatible.
Check your jumpers, controller bios setup, cabling...
