Try "modprobe 53c416; dmesg", what do you see?

You should see something very roughly like-
(scsi0) <Adaptec AIC-7850 SCSI host adapter> found at PCI 0/18/0
(scsi0) Narrow Channel, SCSI ID=7, 3/255 SCBs
(scsi0) Cables present (Int-50 NO, Ext-50 YES)
(scsi0) Downloading sequencer code... 415 instructions downloaded
scsi0 : Adaptec AHA274x/284x/294x (EISA/VLB/PCI-Fast SCSI) 5.2.4/5.2.0
       <Adaptec AIC-7850 SCSI host adapter>
blah ... blah.... blah...

Also 'cat /proc/scsi/scsi'  You should see it there, who knows, it might
already be there.

Or try running 'kudzu' as root?  It might do all the work for you.
