Red Hat Linux Instructions

NOTE: There are several known issues with the default Adaptec SCSI host driver aic7xxx included in RedHat AS 2.1.  Dell recommends that users upgrade to the aic7xxx_mod driver that resolves many of these issues.  The aic7xxx_mod driver is automatically installed on AS 2.1 systems, so no RPMs are needed.  To use it:
1. Edit the /etc/modules.conf file so that references to aic7xxx are replaced by aic7xxx_mod
2. Remake initrd
3. Reboot server
