I just tried it, expecting to see a /dev/st0 after reboot, but
did not see it.  I am inclined to reinstall 6.10 from the CD.
Both dmesg and lspci showed that the Adaptec 
card was detected (see the excerpt of dmesg below).  But I 
couldn't find a suitable device name under /dev/. 
An 'ls -al /dev/s*' command gave me the following:
% ls /dev/s*
/dev/sda   /dev/sda2  /dev/sg0       /dev/sndstat@  /dev/stdin@
/dev/sda1  /dev/sda5  /dev/snapshot  /dev/stderr@   /dev/stdout@

/dev/shm:

/dev/snd:
controlC0  pcmC0D0c  pcmC0D0p  pcmC0D1c  pcmC0D2c  pcmC0D3c  pcmC0D4p  timer

---- dmesg output ---
[17179577.048000] scsi2 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 7.0
[17179577.048000]         <Adaptec 2940 Ultra SCSI adapter>
[17179577.048000]         aic7880: Ultra Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/253 SCBs

----------
Yes, no problem, I too have IDE hard drives as well as an Adaptec 2940
card (to use my SCSI scanner and CD writer). It works just fine, no
particular problem.
