Talking without experience here, so I may be completely wrong, but . . .
This looks like the system wants to load a scsi module. If you answer
'no,' then it tries to load up the kernel (which should have only ide
support).
So, you tried putting the 2940-590.img on your RH boot disk as vmlinuz,
and it did not work?
How exactly did you do it?
Also, you might try the kernel to be uploaded later today by Todd
Weible.
