Make sure your SCSI controller is supported by the driver you're using. If it

Doesn't matter too much AFAIK. As long as you can access the disk properly.

I assume you boot in single user mode. I would just reboot the machine again 
and boot normally (multi-user mode) after you're finished with fsck and stuff.
