I didn't know to look in /var/log/messages. I went and found the logs from approximately when I was working on this last night. Below are cuts of everything I think might be relavent (with some stuff I don't think is but might be related so I left it in there). Are these the messages you might have been expecting?
Possibly pertainent messages found in /var/log/messages: >From Boot-up: Feb 25 19:41:01 Maria kernel: aec671x_detect: Feb 25 19:41:01 Maria kernel: PCI: Found IRQ 11 for device 00:0c.0 Feb 25 19:41:01 Maria kernel: ACARD AEC-671X PCI Ultra/W SCSI-3 Host Adapter: 0 IO:b000, IRQ:11.
