Please help me....

I am relatively new to Linux but have installed some systems on Pentium
MMX's. Right now I am trying to install RedHat 5.1 on a box with an ASUS
motherboard (440BX AGPset dual with one Pentium II 350) with an embedded
Adaptec AIC7890 SCSI controller. The RedHat installation program only gives
the choice of a AHA2940 adapter and afterwards cannot find the device during
the autoprobe (probably because its not a AHA2940). I have read that RedHat
supports AIC7xxx but how can I get on with the installation???

Sincerely
- Gilad
