Do you have a CD burner on your computer? If you do then it is perfectly
normal for Linux to install the SCSI support as it recognizes a CD burner as a
SCSI whether it is one or not. If the answer is yes to my question then just
let it be because without it you don't have a CD burner.

Whoa - hang one here.. You don't have any SCSI cards?
But - from your original posting you are answering YES to the question
about SCSI drives???? Why??
What type(s) of drive do you have?
Give it another burst - this time say NO to the SCSI question..
