well it may be that your system has trouble booting from your scsi/raid.
do you have an extra ide drive in there too? you could put /boot on that
drive, install the boot sector on it, and then your system will boot
up off that and mount the root partition off the scsi device.

alternatively, it might just be some obscure bios setting that's keeping
you from being able to boot off the card...
