yeah, it's a known problem with the new adaptec driver in the 2.4.2-2 kernel. ;( 

There is a patch to go to the newest one: 

http://people.freebsd.org/~gibbs/linux/linux-aic7xxx-6.1.13-2.4.2-2rh.patch.gz

this should work. 

There is also a updated boot disk for redhat 7.1 that might work:

good luck!
