Your in a catch-22 situation. I've been there.
The aic-7890 is not supported by the kernel that comes with 5.1. In
fact, according to Doug Ledford (the author of the aic7xxx driver) it
isn't going to be supported by any of the 2.0.xx series kernels. You
are going to have to obtain one of the 2.1.1xx kernels from either
kernel.org or linuxhq.com in order to use this controller.
The catch is getting and installing the kernel when you haven't got
Linux installed yet.
Maybe someone has a boot disk for a kernel that works with the aic7890?
I had to install Linux using a different scsi controller - just to get
started....
