Adaptec SCSI RAID 2000S

[Matt]

Perhaps this is not the answer you are looking for, but maybe you can
install another distro (Fedora or an older CENTOS) to get driver support.
Also, could using a virtual server work?  I am just wondering if you can
place something like CENT as the host OS then run VMWare and maybe create a
virtual machine with RHEL5?  Perhaps this VM will not require direct
hardware support for the controller?  You might be able to virtualize part
of your infrastructure as well and run a legacy OS which supports your
controller - then, include this box in the virtual infrastructure.

Maybe the real question is why is it that you need to run RHEL5 on a 4 year
old box?  I am not saying there is a problem with it, but is it essential
that REHL5 is run on this one?

Just some thoughts for you...

I hope you've already solved this problem.  Have you checked the Adaptec 
web site for a Linux driver?  If anyone has one, it would be the OEM.
