Please don't top-post. Message rearranged for easier reading:

This is almost completely useless for anyone who isn't running SuSE. For future reference, you should run diagnostic programs from the command line and cut-n-paste error messages directly, so that people can see exactly what's going wrong.

Dude, seriously retro.

That means absolutely nothing to anyone who isn't running SuSE. What does "catproc-scsi-scsi" say? This ancient SCSI card is supported by the aha152x module. See if "lsmod grep 152" returns anything. If it doesn't, "modprobe aha152x io=0xNNN irq=M" , filling in the appropriate values for NNN and M. If you don't know those values, you may want to invest $50 in a PCI SCSI card, because the number of new x86 boards with ISA slots in them is currently roughly 0.

That probably won't work. USB != SCSI, and the ancient ISA card throws in more complications. Oh well, try what I wrote above, see what you get. HTH,
