Help Can't install Linux and Adaptec AIC7890 embedded PCI

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

There is also a 64bit-PCI Version named AIC7891. I think there's no Linux-Support for both at the moment. Michael Baeuerle <mibait00@fht-esslingen.de>

Actually, there is a beta at: ftp.dialnet.net:/pub/linux/aic7xxx/testing As I recall, the beta announcement said the U2W controller (ie, your AIC7890) only works with Ultra2 devices. It doesn't currently with Ultra/non-ultra devices. You will probably need another computer to build the kernel on. -- Michael Meissner, Cygnus Solutions (Massachusetts office) 4th floor, 955 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA meissner@cygnus.com, 617-354-5416 (office), 617-354-7161 (fax)
