I tried changing the order in /etc/modprobe.conf from this :
alias scsi_hostadapter aic79xx alias scsi_hostadapter1 mptbase alias scsi_hostadapter2 mptscsih
To this :
alias scsi_hostadapter mptbase alias scsi_hostadapter1 mptscsih alias scsi_hostadapter2 aic79xx
But that had no effect. Then I opened up the kernel's initrd file and the order of the modules on the filesystem was :
[root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx lib]# ls -lrt total 1011 -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 19996 Jul 1 21:48 sd_mod.ko -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 125928 Jul 1 21:48 scsi_mod.ko -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 229628 Jul 1 21:48 aic79xx.ko -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 49188 Jul 1 21:48 mptscsih.ko -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 53148 Jul 1 21:48 mptbase.ko -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 545724 Jul 1 21:48 xfs.ko
So I removed the aix*.ko file and that sort of worked, now my machine boots with all controllers attached and boots from the correct device. Obviously because the other controller was never probed.
Now my next questions are a) How to change the order of loaded modules in the initrd ( other than changing the pysical layout ),
b) How to correctly load the driver after boot ( modprobe aic79xx from rc.local?).
Now I'm trying to modprobe it I'm seeing some odd errors and the kernel messages :

Excellent Jeff, I'll try that out!
You should be able to do similar for the scsi controllers, since they
have different drivers and specify something like
alias scsi0 LSImodule
alias scsi1 Adaptecmodule
or one of the other tricks using an install line in modprobe.conf to
make sure the LSI gets the driver loaded first and Linux sees it as
scsi0.
