I now manage to load the module after boot when running rmmod aic94xx and then modprobe aic94xx. However, I cannot get it to load the firmware on boot. I've tried modifying the initram-fs image and placing the module in both /lib/firmware/ and /lib/firmware/2.6.20-rc5/ but it seems not to find the firmware (aic94xx-seq.fw) in any of those locations. If I reload the module after booting, it will find the firmware in /lib/firmware/2.6.20-rc5 without problems.
