This is perfect from a linux box but any idea about the rest two Q.
especially for the RPM [Q2]

I tried to install the RPM to the existing set-up (2.6.9-5) it throws

even the adaptec site itself saying, the driver is just a beta/testin
kind of version [I mean YMMV policy]

Thank you for your time.
