Oh my god, I remember vaguely .... that's what it was !!!!!!
Thanks!
I guess, it should be somewhere in HOWTO/SCSI ... I hardly
swap/add stuff so one doesnt think of this. The box
it is running know was last booted 307 days ago only to
add another disk to the Fasttrak Array .... and
all my other linux boxen have that same kind/or longer of uptime.
Further because its only an ADD on card and doesnt boot
I didnt really think of putting it into initrd .... so
I put a line "insmod aic7xxx.o" into /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit ...
But, it makes (now) sense that modules.conf does NOT automagically
add scsi cards ....
