First, I'm not sure the new driver for the dual channel Adaptec 
controllers had been completed yet.

Check:  ftp://ftp.dialnet.net/pub/linux/aic7xxx/7890-Status
for the latest status of the drivers.

If it's done, you could (in theory) make a new RH boot disk that supports it,
but you would need a running Linux system to do that.  Kind of a catch-22.
