dmesgyou can see if the driver has been actually loaded.
cat /proc/scsi/scsiallows you to visualize the detected devices connected to this controller. After having successfully terminated these operations, please enter the driver in the file /etc/rc.config in the following line:
INITRD_MODULES="aic7xxx usbcore lvm-mod reiserfs usb-uhciThis line could differ from yours, but what counts is that a blank is always put between the single drivers. Please check if the following entry
image = /boot/vmlinuz root = /dev/... label = linux initrd = /boot/initrd <------is in /etc/lilo.conf. If necessary, please complete the entry initrd=... . Then, please execute the following commands:
mk_initrd liloThis SCSI controller will be integrated during the next system boot and the devices connected to the controller will be available.
