Hi Ben, check out the /etc/rc.d/rc.modules file on the slackware you have installed. This script should have a scsi controller section which you uncomment lines to load the various modules you require. There might be entries for aic6XXX adaptec cards. Also during the install did you select adaptec.s as the kernel image file. Using the default bare.i will not include scsi drivers.
Apparently Slackware-9.1 supports aic7xxx cards only, there is no mention of aic6xxx in /usr/src/linux/drivers/scsi/README. The newsgroup alt.os.linux.slackware is helpful although it is usually faster just to use http://www.google.co.nz > I'm going to download Slackware 9.1 on monday.

Slack-9.1 Disk 1 contains everthing you need for a fileserver or X with the smaller window managers such as windowmaker. KDE,Gnome and extras are on Disk 2. hth, keith.
