    You probably mean the aic7xxx.o kernel module. A module with name
    aic7770.o is not known on my FC1. I even never heard of a SCSI module by
    that name.

    > Hmmmm

    If you type in as root "modinfo aic7xxx" you will get some information
    about optional module parameters you can pass when loading the module.
    Maybe even the example line for EISA/VLB system is interesting for you

    Load the module and create a new ram disk using command mkinitrd.
    "mkinitrd --help" will show you how to use the command. Move the newly
    created initrd.img file to /boot and be sure it is called in
    /etc/grub.conf. Edit the /etc/modules.conf with a line

    alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx

    maybe followed by a line like

    options aic7xxx 'aic7xxx=probe_eisa_vl.tag_info:{{}.{.10}}.seltime:1'

    whatever parameters you are passing to the module.
