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
