Presuming that you haven't/don't want to recompile your kernel:

Add the following line to /etc/conf.modules:

alias scsi_hostadapter aha1542

Run mkinitrd: mkinitrd /boot/initrd-2.0.3 2.0.3
(replace 2.0.3 with the kernel version you are using)

Add this line to the image=... section of your /etc/lilo.conf:

initrd=/boot/initrd-2.0.3

And run /sbin/lilo.

Reboot, cross fingers, and it should work (unless it doesn't 
autodetect in which case you'll need to add an options line to 
/etc/conf.modules).
