Most likely your kernel does not have the SCSI driver you need compiled in.
You have two options:
- compile the SCSI driver (Fusion) into the kernel
- compile the driver as a module, and put it into an initrd.
the initrd file must be in the EFI partition. You need to
add one line to the above elilo.conf entry: initrd=initrd_file_name
