I seemingly am unable to make this work at boot time.
I believe I followed Alexanders instructions correctly, however the system
still does not find the adapter nor mount the drives at boot time.
You made a ramdisk initrd.img which contains the scsi module?
Furthermore, I cannot mount the drives after I do a manual modprobe
aix*.
No, "modprobe aic7xxx" is the correct syntax, nothing else. Maybe you
need to pass special options as I wrote in my first reply!
fdisk list all 8 drives correctly after the modproble, however a
number of
attempts to mount them fail.
Please post syslog entries when the modprobe was executed but not drives
are recognized (/var/log/messages is the relevant file).
The drives were configured as a softraid by RedHat Linux 7.2.
I copied the raidtab from the 7.2 version and updated the fstab to the
Fedora version and it still does not seem to work.
And the Adaptec controller was used on RH 7.2 too or was it different
hardware?
Thanks in advance for any direction...

Please do NOT top-post. Not good for following and answering in
discussion.

Greetings:
After a few days away I am back trying to solve this problem.
I modified the modules.conf to:
===============
alias eth0 3c509
alias scsi_host_adapter aic7xxx
options aic7xxx 'aic7xxx=probe_eisa_vl.tag_info:{{}.{.10}}.seltime:1'
===============
Next I did a mkinitrd and logged the results:
===============
Looking for deps of module scsi_mod
Looking for deps of module sd_mod scsi_mod
Looking for deps of module scsi_mod
Looking for deps of module unknown
Looking for deps of module aic7xxx scsi_mod
Looking for deps of module scsi_mod
Looking for deps of module ide-disk
Looking for deps of module ext2
Using modules: ./kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.o
./kernel/drivers/scsi/sd_mod.o ./kernel/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx.o
Using loopback device /dev/loop0
/sbin/nash -> /tmp/initrd.iF2107/bin/nash
/sbin/insmod.static -> /tmp/initrd.iF2107/bin/insmod
`/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2149.nptlcustom/./kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.o' ->
`/tmp/initrd.iF2107/lib/scsi_mod.o'
`/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2149.nptlcustom/./kernel/drivers/scsi/sd_mod.o' ->
`/tmp/initrd.iF2107/lib/sd_mod.o'
`/lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2149.nptlcustom/./kernel/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx
.o' -> `/tmp/initrd.iF2107/lib/aic7xxx.o'
Loading module scsi_mod
Loading module sd_mod
Loading module aic7xxx with options
'aic7xxx=probe_eisa_vl.tag_info:{{}.{.10}}.seltime:1'
===============
Upon rebooting the machine, carefully choosing the correct kernel, the boot
process proceeds normally until it produced the following error on the
console:
===============
/lib/aic7xxx.0
insmod errors can be caused by incorrect IO or IRQ .....
/bin/insmod exited abnormally
===============
The error text may not be exactly correct as it was scrolling when I tried
to catch it. I could not find the message in the boot sequence logged in
/var/log/messages or dmesg or in boot.log A fdisk -l did not show the SCSI
drives.
Next, if I do an insmod aic7xxx the module loads and the drives appear.
Help is really appreciated.
