Now I have this in my quik.conf:

but still does not work.

My disk is connected to an uw adaptec card.
How do I tell the kernel to use the aic7xxx module?

Do you have a separate /boot FS? How far does it get - does it load and start the kernel? Does the kernel still panic? Can you change the 'root=' parameter to '/dev/ram', and add something like

   append="init=/bin/sh"

and see if it actually loads the initrd? You should get a shell (although it'll be _extremely_ minimal).
