Sounds like you do not have scsi support in your kernel. Show us your
.config. Before the above lines you should have had something like:

Jan  5 22:04:02 tango kernel: aic7xxx: BurstLen = 8 DWDs, Latency 
Timer = 32 PCLKS
Jan  5 22:04:02 tango kernel: aic7xxx: devconfig = 0x580.
Jan  5 22:04:02 tango kernel: aic7xxx: Reading SEEPROM...done.
Jan  5 22:04:02 tango kernel: aic7xxx: Extended translation disabled.
Jan  5 22:04:02 tango kernel: aic7xxx: Memory check yields 16 SCBs, 
paging not enabled.
Jan  5 22:04:02 tango kernel: AHA-2940 (PCI-bus), I/O 0x6000, Mem 
0xf0410000:
Jan  5 22:04:02 tango kernel:     irq 10
Jan  5 22:04:02 tango kernel:     bus release time 40 bclks
Jan  5 22:04:02 tango kernel:     data fifo threshold 100
Jan  5 22:04:02 tango kernel:     SCSI CHANNEL A:
Jan  5 22:04:03 tango kernel:         scsi id 7
Jan  5 22:04:03 tango kernel:         scsi selection timeout 256 ms
Jan  5 22:04:03 tango kernel:         scsi bus reset at power-on enabled
Jan  5 22:04:03 tango kernel:         scsi bus parity enabled
Jan  5 22:04:03 tango kernel: aic7xxx: Downloading sequencer code...done.
Jan  5 22:04:03 tango kernel: aic7xxx: Resetting the SCSI bus...done.

then,

Jan  5 22:04:03 tango kernel: scsi0 : Adaptec AHA274x/284x/294x 
(EISA/VLB/PCI-Fast SCSI) 4.0/3.2/4.0
Jan  5 22:04:03 tango kernel: scsi : 1 host.

Also, /proc/devices should include sd as a block device, i.e. you should
see this in /proc/devices:

[root@tango root]# cat /proc/devices
Character devices:
 1 mem
 2 pty
 3 ttyp
 4 ttyp
 5 cua
 7 vcs

Block devices:
 2 fd
 3 ide0
 8 sd
   ~~
I hope this helps, but you sure don't give us much info to go on!
