Is the SCSI Adapter recognized in the system ?
The PCI Bridge ist the National  Pico|Power IC. The Advansys should be 
the SCSI controller.

Is the driver already loaded ?
Take a look in /proc/scsi there should be  scsi file you can view.

Or you try loading the driver for the SCSI controller:
insmod or modprobe advansys

When you load the module it would be good to check if the kernel writes 
something to /var/log/messages

I don't know if there is a possibility to set anything.

When you search the /var/log/boot.log  and /var/log/boot.msg
do you find any hints about the buz, advansys or zoran ?

dmesg lets you view the boot messages (probably a file in /var/log) any 
hint about the zoran and the driver would be very helpful.
