the module is somewhere under /lib/modules, depending on your kernel-version. 
the system knows where to look for dont worry...

did you try "modprobe aic7xxx" , just to control if the module is already 
compiled (usually it is). if not what is the output.

when you load modconf there is a section /driver/scsi I think it should be 
there. 
but wait, open a terminal su - to root and type:

echo "aic7xxx" >> /etc/modules
reboot



good luck
