Thanks for the reply ...I was beginning to think no-one cared (Sob Sob)

When I do "modprobe aic7xxx"

/lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx.o: init_module: No such device

/lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx.o failed

/lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx.o: insmod aic7xxx failed

This is really driving me mad now but I sure I must just be doing something stupid. It looks like the module can't see the card but I don't understand why when it is detected in the PCI Bus scan.

Hi, Taylor. This is a typical newbie mistake. When insmod'ing modules, you do not use the .o suffix, just give the module name, i.e.,: insmod aic7xxx

BTW, it is better to use "/sbin/modprobe aic7xxx" rather than insmod since modprobe handles any necessary loading of dependent modules.
