It may work for some, but it doesn't work for everybody. I
have no doubt the next RedHat disk will work for most if not
all the boxes with 7890s, but I guarantee you that the box I
worked on all weekend (40 out of 48 hours) had no chance of
ever booting until some kind net soul gave me a Slackware
boot disk he cooked up just for the occasion. You must have
at least version 5.1.6 of the aic7xxx driver to work on a
Dell PowerEdge 6300/400 and the 2.0.36 kernel only has version
5.1.2. Don't believe me? I have the scars to prove it. :)
