I think you have a typo in your failover parameter, it should look like this:
options qla2xxx ql2xfailover=0 ConfigRequired=0


After the modification to the file appropriate for your distribution, a new ramdisk needs to be created and the host rebooted.
For Red Hat distributions, use:
cd /boot
mkinitrd -v initrd-$1.img $1
where $1 is the currently running v2.6.x kernel version.
For example:
cd /boot
mkinitrd -v initrd-2.6.9-22.ELsmp.img 2.6.9-22.ELsmp
