Here is the latest information. I replaced the card with a brand new 
Adaptec 2940 Ultra Wide (Just to ensure that it wasn't the card) then I I 
installed Linux. It detected the card and all of the drives without a 
hitch. The following is a copy of the error and screen

-----------

And so on for all 16 scsi devices. I am begining to think perhaps it is 
something that I am doing (or not doing.) If you can provide any 
additional direction it would be appriciated.

Thanks
