So your workaround for the bug was to upgrade just so you
kept the old modprobe.conf...  Another approach that should
have worked would have been to boot the install CD in
rescue mode after your clean install failed to boot itself,
add the correct line for the aic7xxx module, and rebuild
the initrd image with the mkinitrd command.  The difference
is that now you don't know precisely what else you still
have left over from the last system besides the part that
luckily works around a new bug.  The effects from the other
parts may not be so lucky for you.
