the aic stuff can sometimes take a very long time to setup and run on
the 2.6 kernel ( on your machine spec it might not come up at all! )
try booting the installer into debug mode, see how far it gets.
Alternatively, disable the aic stuff completely ( the kernel doc has
the options )
Finally, try the CentOS-3 installer. some of these really old cards are
better supported there.
