FC2 does load the new aic7xxx driver. Seems your controller has problems
with that one. You might do some tricks and load with the old aic7xxx
driver. Please search the list archive. Someone with the same problem
posted a good step by step solution on how to get the old SCSI driver at
boot / installation time.

Ok, I quickly searched for you:

The articles has some strange character, it may be better displayed in
the Red Hat's archive of this list. From information above and with the
link in the list signature you can easily find the archive article
there.
