Description of problem:
RedHat 9 Kernels use a very old version of aic79xx (1.0.0).
So until kernel 2.4.20-28.9 better driver versions were available
from people.freebsd.org/~gibbs/linux 
this was never a real problem.

Could you please use like fedora oder RedHat EL a more recent source 
of the aic79xx driver ( 1.3.10 or later ).

Thank you,

Winfrid
