I chuckled when I saw your nickname of 'spot' - that's the name of the 
server I'm installing the card in. :)

I put the card in, and my Dell 2650 ses the card as it's booting, and 
the IBM ULTRIUM-TD2 tape drive attached to it. Kudzu noticed the card 
and I told it to configure it (it actually saw it twice - once for each 
channel, perhaps?). But when I do an lsmod, it didn't show the aic7xxx 
module loaded. So, I did an 'modprobe aic7xxx' and it loaded the module. 
However, lsmod shows it as unused (is that right?), but now when I cat 
/proc/scsi/scsi I seethe tape drive listed.

Should an lsmod show it as unused? If not, what's wrong and how do I fix 
it? Also, how do I get the aic7xxx module to automatically load at boot 
time? It's in /etc/modules.conf:

alias scsi_hostadapter1 aic7xxx
