Have you compiled the SCSI generic support in your 2.2 kernel ?
It is required for this controler to work.

Oddly enough, I've been able to get this to boot from the base slink
install (2.0.36), but am unable to get this to work when I try to use
potato or upgrade the kernel to 2.2.x, after recompiling in megaraid
support. I tried booting it from the slink CD on a whim; I didn't
actually expect it to work.

Unfortunately, I need 2.2.x for Lotus Domino and SMP support, so leaving
it at 2.0.36 is not an option, as appealing as that may seem.
