It would help to know where your yum.conf is pointed and getting its 
updates.

There should be a module loaded for your scsi adapter, and it's not 
there. My output shows:

scsi_mod              105896   5  [sg sr_mod ide-scsi aic7xxx sd_mod]

Try a:

modprobe advansys

it that works, try adding the line:

alias scsi_hostadapter advansys

to your /etc/modules.conf
