It _should_ work. Probably best to check the following points:

1. You have compiled SCSI support into the kernel, haven't you?
   Answer yes to ncr53c7,8xx as well as generic SCSI support.
2. Do you get the SCSI BIOS message after the POST?
3. What does 'dmesg' say -- anything?

My NCR SCSI card just arrived today, and within ten minutes
of plugging it in, I get: (from 'cat /proc/pci')

PCI devices found :
Bus  0 Device   0 Function  0.
    Host bridge : Acer Labs M1445 (rev 0). 
Bus  0 Device   3 Function  0.
    VGA display controller : Cirrus Logic GD 5434 (rev 38).
Bus  0 Device   4 Function  0.
    SCSI bus controller : NCR 53c810 (rev 2). 8259's interrupt 9.

and from 'dmesg'

scsi-ncr53c7,8xx : at PCI bus 0, device 4,  function 0
scsi-ncr53c7,8xx : warning : revision of 2 is greater than 1.
scsi-ncr53c7,8xx : NCR53c810 at memory 0x81000000, io 0x3000, irq 9
