I'm going to make some assumptions, usually a bad practice, but I 'm reacting to what you asked.
I think that the 7.3 installation is using initrd to start. Since the initrd doesn't know about aic7xxx.
You probably need to load that module, either on the lilo command line at boot up, or abort the installation from the CD and load the module.
After installation, this module needs to added to /etc/rc.config at INITRD_MODULES="aic7xxx", then run mk_initrd so that your initrd in /boot knows about aic7xxx.
Just my thoughts. Hope it helps.
