It is deprecated for kernel 2.6. It used to generate /etc/modprobe.conf
from /etc/modprobe.d. However for 2.4, it still
generated /etc/modules.conf from /etc/modutils.

Add
options aic7xxx aic7xxx=verbose,pci_parity:1,global_tag_depth:1
to some file in /etc/modprobe.d (2.6) or /etc/modutils (2.4). If you use
2.4, run update-modules or update-modules.moditils. Also make sure
that /etc/modprobe.conf does not exist if you use a current version of
module-init-tools.
