2. Install the binary rpm, aic79xx-2.0.2-2.4.18_14.1.i386.rpm using the RedHat 
Package Manger. To do this, with root privilages, type at a console prompt:

'rpm -qva | grep aic'  to find out if you already have a version of the aic79xx 
driver installed.  If you do, use:
 
'rpm -Uvh aic79xx-2.0.2-2.4.18_14.1.i386.rpm'

otherwise use:

'rpm -ivh aic79xx-2.0.2-2.4.18_41.1.i386.rpm'


3. Verify /etc/modules.conf is updated with 'scsi_hostadapter' aliases 
referencing the aic79xx_2_0_2 driver module. 

4. Reboot your machine to begin using the updated driver.
