I tried installing FC on my new system, which has a
similiar config.

After much wrangling, I kept the system at RH9,
because I fould out that Adaptec did not port their
drivers to the latest releases of the kernel (2.6+).

After finding that out, I learned that the 2.4 kernels
worked, which is what RH9 and the Enterprise line
uses.

PS  If that has changed, then there is a great reason
for me to upgrade.  :)
