Why not compile the AIC7xxx scsi driver into the kernel and not as a
module? Also a copy of dmesg would help. Also what is the rdev of the
kerne? Is the kernel just booting until it comes to the mounting the
root partition and cannot because there is no driver for either the
/dev/hda or /dev/sda drives. The drivers for the root partition need to
be an integral portion of the kernel and cannot be loadable modules.
