CentOS *is* RHEL, for most intents and purposes.  It is rebuild straight 
from the RH provided SRPMs.  Unless software depends explicitly on the 
contents of /etc/redhat-release (and, really, those can be changed), if 
it's designed for RHEL, it'll run on CentOS.

I meant for you to run '/sbin/lsmod'.

?? The 'dmesg' output you sent showed an aic7xxx showing up as scsi1, with 
the tape drive and changer attached to that.  They should still be there.  
Are there any SCSI errors in /var/log/messages?  And, again, 'lsmod' will 
show us whether or not the aic7xxx driver is still loaded.
