I was trying to install a tape drive to a redhat 7.3 server I first installed a adaptec 29160 to the server
After reboot, I found that the SCSI card is not loaded up.
Then I tried to loaded the SCSI card by loading the module:
---------------------------------------------------------------
# insmod st
Using /lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/scsi/st.o
/lib/modules/2.4.18-3/kernel/drivers/scsi/st.o: unresolved symbol scsi_do_req_Rc63a25cd

What is the problem?
You're using "insmod" instead of "modprobe" and hence not loading the modules that the "st" module itself depends on.
Moreover, the "st" module is for handling SCSI tapes but you'll also need to load the appropriate module for your SCSI card itself; not sure if that's aic79xx or aic7xxx.
P.S. This is the wrong mailing list for Red Hat 7,x support. More appropriate lists might be:
redhat-list: https://www.redhat.com/archives/redhat-list/
fedora-legacy-list: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-legacy-list
P.P.S. Please don't post in HTML on this mailing list.
