I did what you said and (after doing it twice to correct a typo:) ) it 
was working!  I was very excited to see the machine get past the 
Loading aic7xxx.ko module and begin to load the OS.  Unfortunately 
another problem has cropped up.  I get the following message:

Checking for new hardwaremodprobe:  FATAL:  Error inserting aic7xxx 
(/lib/modules/2.6.5-1.358smp/kernel/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx.ko):  No such 
device

kernel panic:  aic7xxx  unrecoverable  BRKADRINT


I don't understand why it requires the device to be loaded initially 
but now it can't even find the device.  Is there another step that 
needs to be done to include the appropriate driver in the kernel?

Thanks again for your help.
Jeremy
