is you install the driver for the scsi card check with lspci, /etc/sysconfig/hwconf

Hello,
cat /etc/sysconfig/hwconf show me at this is installed

class: SCSI
bus: PCI
detached: 0
driver: aic7xxx
desc: "Adaptec|AIC-7892A U160/m"
vendorId: 9005
deviceId: 0080
subVendorId: 9005
subDeviceId: e220
pciType: 1
pcibus:  2
pcidev:  9
pcifn:  0

But i can't see it in lsmod
Cat /proc/scsi/scsi

You might wish to check for module errors with

modprobe -vn aic7xxx

After doing so also check /var/log/messages. Please post any related errors here...

Helo,
modprob -vn aic7xxx  telme
modprob: Can't locate module aic7xxx

And /var/log/messages is

Try adding this line to the /etc/modules.conf file and restarting:

options scsi_mod max_scsi_luns=128


Also, please dont forget to post the output of

cat /proc/scsi/scsi

Strange that it doesn't see a module that later it claims it's using...
