So during boot you see something along the lines  of blah blah aic7xxx  
etc raid controller or just a separate entry with "detecting raid 
controller etc" From what I seem to get here is that your Adaptec card 
isn't even seen. Your scsi card is not being seen as anything. I do not 
think that the raid controller entry you are seeing has anything to do 
with your scsi card.  Do you get the <Ctrl A> prompt when you cold boot 
your machine? If so what are the settings in your scsi bios? I run the 
aic7xx module  on a 2940 (I think thats what I have) used for my scanner 
I have a definate pause during bootup with the aic7xx module while it 
probes for attached devices, then reports tha attached devices and the 
loading of linux continues.  Do you still have Slack 8.0 on that machine 
(or other distro)?  if so do an lspci and see what  the resources for 
that chipset are.
