You might try doing the "noprobe" install and then selecting the
OLD_AIC7XXX driver.  I had the same problem with an AHA-2940U2W - full
hang on loading the driver...

Cheers,

Subject: adaptec driver error


i'm desperately and unsuccessfully trying to install a RH73 on a machine
with an ADAPTEC 2944UW scsi controler

install hangs at "loading AIC-7xxx driver"

it looks like redhat's driver version doesn't support this card, thought
it
works with others (BTW mandrake 8.x installs fine on the same machine)

for what i saw gathering info on the net, it seems to be an old problem
(rh
70, 71, 72 and now 73)

i could try to solve the problem by myself (find a new code and compile
the
module), but i don't know how to manage an installation from CDs with a
new
module. i heard about driver diskettes that could be inserted at the
very
beginning of the installation process, but i didn't find any how-to nor
tip
related to this

so i'd be very glad if someone could tell me how to make this "driver
diskette" and how to use it

Bien sûr que je suis perfectionniste !
Mais ne pourrais-je pas l'être mieux ?
