You could also ask on the elrepo mailinglist. There was a request not too long ago.

So maybe you can install centos 5.4, then install their newer aacraid driver and then you can update the kernel as well...
As Rainer said, this is best discussed on the ELRepo mailing list, but ...
There is a good chance that kmod-aacraid from ELRepo works on the Adaptec RAID in question. To confirm this, it will be helpful to get the hardware fingerprint.
# lspci | grep -i raid
will show a line similar to:
01:00.0 RAID bus controller: Adaptec AAC-RAID
Then running this:
lspci -n | grep 01:00.0
will display the vendor:device ID pairing.
