One thing to remember is the mylex driver bypasses the scsi layer.
IE tape drives, etc, etc, will not work with it under linux.
It also requires special /dev/ files, fdisk, and lilo.
I would just avoid lilo and use grub. Then again I would just avoid Redhat and
install Debian.
Once you have a Mylex capable kernel and have partitioned it up, it
should be mostly like a normal install.

The DPT driver does not work like this....
