   Your RedHat distribution should have support for the Adaptec 154x 
card 'built-in':

   I had to use the 'drivers.img' file from the /images directory of
the
install cd. Use rawrite to make a floppy image of the additional
drivers -the procedure is the same as if making an install floppy. 
   Do your install in 'Expert' mode so the card isn't 'probed.'
   If the install process can't find your card, or your card isn't
listed,
use the drivers from the floppy. Just select the  Adapthec154x 
series and the default settings.   If you have to pass specific
options 
to get the card recognized, use the form:  
                  aha1542=0x330 
      or
                  aha1542=300

assuming that 330 is the base address of your card.

                                    regards,

                                     Tom
