You missed the `echo' from the start of this command. It should be:

[root at localhost root]# echo "alias_scsihostadapter aic7xxx" >>
/etc/modprobe.conf

You only need to do any of these commands if your system requires the
SCSI adapter at boot time. It appears that yours does not (booting from
IDE disks?). So you don't need the scsi_hostadapter line in your
/etc/modprobe.conf and you don't need to rebuild your
/boot/initrd-2.6.8-1.521.img file.
