That is normal. Modules do not get initialized at boot, they are
initialized when they are loaded. The module autoloader works by loading
modules when needed. And nothing explicitly "uses" the SCSI host adapter at
boot, so it will not be loaded.
After the system had booted, try doing a "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/foo" or
whatever. The kernel will see a request for SCSI and load the module. I'm
not sure what will happen if you have multiple SCSI host adapters, but you can
always try it and find out! :-)
If you would prefer to force the module to load at startup, place the
command "insmod aic7xxx" in your /etc/rc.d/rc.modules file.
Your conf.modules file looks okay to me.
