system failing to boot from aic7902 after kernel update

[Cesare Delle Fratte]

Hi,
I have a dual Xion 2.4 with 512Gb of RAM  SuperMicro system . It
came with Adaptec 320 SCSI card AIC79XX which I'm having trouble with.
I've installed RedHat 7.3 CERN with no problems, I had to supply the driver
for the SCSI card separately though.
After I updated the kernel (kernel-smp-2.4.20-30.7.i686.rpm) , system
wouldn't boot from the new kernel. (See the message below).

Please explain me how to make the new kernel work with the SCSI card.
I couldn't find any good references on how to do it.
Thanks in advance.
Cesare
