Is this the proper module? I use Adaptec, with aic7xxx module for the
particular module, I also have sd_mod and scsi_mod. To make a long story
short, scsi_hostadapter has to be aliased to the real module, aic7xxx.
To that extent, your module directory should have an aic7xxx module, and
your /etc/modules.conf (or conf.modules on some systems) should have a
line:
alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx

Possibly you have a different module, but it will still need an alias I
think.
