    A remote colleague has a debian system that has been running fine with
    stock kernel-image-2.4.18-1-686; but, until now, *not* running any SCSI
    devices.

    Last night, he added a SCSI cdrom and tape drive to the system. He
    insists that the AIC-7980 controller lists the devices during post.

    dmesg does *not* show the controller; nor does scsi_devfs_scan.

    I have a system with similar scsi devices; but, different kernel:

       # cat /proc/modules | grep -i scsi
       ide-scsi 10480 0
       ide-mod 98808 1 [ide-cd ide-probe-mod ide-scsi]
       scsi_mod 94848 4 (autoclean) [st ide-scsi sd_mod aic7xxx]

    His shows this:

       # cat /proc/modules | grep -i scsi
       scsi_mod 84952 1 (autoclean) [sr_mod]

    Neither system has any aic7xxx listed in:

       /etc/modules
       /etc/modules.conf

    I have built systems with scsi support from ground zero; but, I have not
    added scsi to a non-scsi system.

    What are we missing?
