kmodule / scsi module conflict

Hi Everyone,

I'm running FC3 and with an older UMAX S-12 SCSI scanner connected to an Adaptec card, which by default uses the aic7xxx kernel module.  However, the scanner just hangs up when attempting to scan, something related to sync/async negotiation.  I found that by using the "aic7xxx_old" module instead, all works fine.

In older Fedora/Redhat distros I've been able to just change my scsi_hostadapter alias to aic7xxx_old in modules.conf, remake initrd, and all is well.  However, in FC3 I'm having issues which I've tracked to the "kmodule" program.  

In a nutshell, my initrd loads aic7xxx_old just fine, but then /etc/rc.sysinit runs /sbin/kmodule, which reports that my SCSI module is aic7xxx, and then runs modprobe aic7xxx, conflicting with the other module and causing a kernel panic. 

Anyone have any ideas to get around this without hacking the rc.sysinit file?

Thanks!
