Here's a link that tells you what driver you need:

Do you need the SCSI adapter to do the install?  If not, you can rebuild
the kernel (or a driver module) after you're done installing.  If you can't
even install, with the above info you can at least look at RH's site for an
install disk that will work.

Failing that, build your own boot disk.  If I knew anything about the RH
install process I'd tell you the easiest way to do that.  Sorry I can't
help more.
