Well, in /etc/modules.conf your SCSI devices should be listed 'properly', this means, 'off' is certainly incorrect. On my box, I have the SCSI lines as follows:
# alias scsi_hostadapter off alias scsi_hostadapter advansys alias scsi_hostadapter ide-scsi
So, you should uncomment the 'off' line. In my case, I have got a SCSI scanner which is attached to a SCSI card which uses the advansys module. And I got an IDE burner which runs via the SCSI emulation, that's the next line. In your case you would presumably have to include lines like:
# alias scsi_hostadapter off alias scsi_hostadapter adaptec
in your /etc/modules.conf - I am not sure if the module, which is required by the adaptec card, is actually called adaptec, so this might vary:-) You don't need a line for the SCSI burner, if it is attached to this card! See my example above, the card is declared, and then the devices attached to this card (scanner, Microtek X6 in my case) are available.
