the aic7xxx module loads and the partitions mount fine

I still can't get the module to mount at startup
/etc/conf.modules:
alias eth0 eepro100
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
pre-install plip modprobe parport_pc ; echo 7 > /proc/parport/0/irq
pre-install pcmcia_core /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
alias block-major-8 aic7xxx
I have also tried this which was created by diskdrak I believe:
/etc/conf.modules:
alias eth0 eepro100
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
pre-install plip modprobe parport_pc ; echo 7 > /proc/parport/0/irq
pre-install pcmcia_core /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx
post-install supermount modprobe scsi_hostadapter
thanks for your help
