Powerbook G3 SCSI problem during install

[Brian McKee]

Hi All
	I'm attempting to install Ubuntu to an external SCSI drive connected 
to a Mac Powerbook G3 (Lombard, bronze keyboard)
This machine has an internal IDE drive and a SCSI port on the rear.
The installer doesn't show the external drive for me to install to.
I'm *assuming* it's not finding the SCSI controller.
How do I prove this?

Yellow Dog linux (2.4.22 kernel) recognizes the drive just fine
(although I don't know if the YDL _installer_ does)
so I should be able to get this to work,
I'm just not sure where to start.

lsmod on the system when running YDL doesn't look anything
like the output of lsmod while the Ubuntu installer is running.

The output of dmesg under YDL that relates to SCSI follows:
> SCSI subsystem driver Revision: 1.00
> scsi0 : SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices
> mesh: configured for synchronous 5 MB/s
> mesh: performing initial bus reset...
> scsi1 : MESH
> mesh: target 6 synchronous at 5.0 MB/s

> SCSI device sda: 2503872 512-byte hdwr sectors (1282 MB)
>  sda: [mac] sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4


FWIW I have the preview release dated Sept 15th

Any suggestions appreciated,
Brian
