[Fedora] IBM Netfinity 5000

[Jack Lauman]

The "AIC-7895" is equivalent to the Adaptec AHA-2940U, AHA-2940UW, 
AHA-3940U, AHA-3940UW SCSI adapters (and others). (AIC-7895 is the chip 
on the card).

The "qlxxxx" below are for an embedded QLogic SCSI controller on the 
motherboard.

Reinstall the IBM system partition... then load you Linux release.
