To install RHEL, you'd need a driver disk for the Adaptec card. ELRepo (Phil
Schaffner) provides one for the the 6000 series here:

http://www.elrepo.org/people/pschaff/dud/

as DUP_el6_i686_20111230.iso.gz (32-bit) and DUP_el6_x86_64_20111230.iso.gz
(64-bit). More details can be found
here:

Will be great if you can test it.

I downloaded this iso.gz and found it had the kmod-aacraid-1.1.7-1. rpm, but
interestingly it had a different number of bytes than the same named rpm
from elrepo.org. There is no clear indication, but I currently presume that
the 7-3 rpm is newer thanthe 7-1 one and hopefully this makes is a better
choice.
