OK, try applying the following patch to your kernel sources. It should
make modularized drivers work. Unfortunately, due to current technical
restrictions in our install (yeah, we're working on them, don't worry...)
we currently have to fix it by posting boot images with linked-in
support.
With this patch, it *should* be possible to use both the AIC7880 and
the Advansys as modules, if you like.
Good luck!
