Hi, I also had problems getting a SCSI adapter (Adaptec 2930U) recognized in Redhat 6.0. I tried several things (a.o. reconfigure and compile kernel and modules) but each time during start-up of Linux it said 0 hosts detected. My colleague told me it might have something to do with my initrd (ramdisk boot image). He advised me to upgrade to RH6.1, because he thought it was a bug in 6.0. I upgraded to 6.1 and yes, it worked.
