I just recently installed RH 7.0 on a machine with the Adaptec 1542.
I had to use the 'drivers.img' file from the /images directory of the
install cd. Use rawrite to make a floppy image of the additional
drivers, and when the install process can't find your card, use the
drivers from the floppy. Just select the Adapthec154x series and the
default settings. If you have to pass specific options to get the
card recognized, use the form:
aha1542=0x330
or, aha1542=330
