[svlug] Help with adding a SCSI disk.

Hi,
 
I'm running FC2 system that boots off of an IDE disk (/dev/hda).
 
I have added a SCSI controller, Adaptec 2940, and a SCSI disk.
The system "sees" the controller and disk at boot up (see below),
and hwbrowser "sees" the controller, BUT, I can't connect to the
disk via fdisk. I have tried just about *every* device in /dev
and all I get is "Unable to open /dev/xxx".
 
Am I missing a step to adding a new disk, or could this some
kind of in-compatibility issue?
 
 
Thanks in advance!
