"440GX"..... unfortionate.
Does it work if you try noprobe and then use the old aic7xxx driver instead ?

how to use the old aic7xxx drivers when install redhat 9.0?maybe like follow:
boot: linux scsihosts=aic7xxx_old

but the load driver window prompt still is "load aic7xxx driver"

if you use "noprobe" option anaconda will ask you which to load.

Hardware's issue.
