I use an Adaptec SCSI card and a SCSI tape backup drive. I did recompile the kernel and made sure the aic7xxx.o SCSI module was in fact a module. depmod saw to it that modules.conf was updated appropriately. Scsi tape support was also compiled as a module (st.o). I boot with an initrd image (in RedHat 9) which ensures that the module is always loaded.
