There were some recent posts (maybe January 2005?) about this driver.
I'm running it in the same environment and versions as you, and am not
having any problems. The latest kernel it supports is 2.4.21-4, which
is not the latest available, but it works.

I was having problems with the adaptec driver that ships with RHEL AS 3
-- timeouts and bus errors. When I upgraded to the 6.3.9 version, my
problems went away.

I'v used the 6.3.9 driver from adaptec for 3 months now. Most scsi-bus
reset and errors (that I hav with 6.2.36) has gone. Another thing to do
is to disable CDI on the jukebox-devices.
You can download the source-code for the 6.3.9 driver from adaptec and
the make the driver to the latest kernel (I.m running RHEL Es. V3u4
kernel 2.4.21-27.Elsmp). Remember to make a new initrd image otherwise
you will get the old driver at boot.
P.s. You can also ger the source-code for 2.6 kernel so you are able to
run on RHEL ESv4
