I have a server with controler SCSI in motherboard AIC 7890. When I try to install Linux the OS try to load ramdisk aic7xxx and he stoped. I dezactivate the SCSI from BIOS and install SCSI AHA-2940 but i have the same problem.
How can I do...

I think I have a similar situation. I also have SpaceWalker motherboard with built-in AIC7890 SCSI. Also I have another SCSI card on the motherboard.

When I installed RH 7.1 Linux, there was no problem for "anaconda" installer to load the driversfor both SCSI.

In your case, verify that in the BIOS setup, the SCSI is enabled; and then your SCSI drive is set to ID 0. When booting and AIC screen flashes, try "CTRL+A" or "CRTL+S" and peek through the SCSI settings.

Hope this helps
