linux kernel 2.2.12 and DAC-960

I am running a redhat 6.1 box on an Intergraph Interserve (Integraph?!?!
I know they stopped making computers) with dual Pentium Pro 133 mHz
processors and a 3-channel Mylex DAC960 pci firmware 1.x. I haven't been
able to make either mandrake, debian or redhat see the Mylex, so I just
used the onboard Adaptec card. However, I just got in a few 4.3 gb
drives and I wanted to take linux off the 2 gig drive and throw it on
the Mylex card. I still can't get any distro to see the card. I've even
looked at the drivers and can't find anything to help me. The card is
registered as being busy so the kernel can't grab it. Any fixes? Anyone
else heard of this problem?

   Once you have Linux running on the machine, then try one of the newer
kernels (either 2.2.19 or 2.4.3), and see if the DAC960 driver in it will
"see" your card.  if it will, then it's possible to migrate your
installation over to the RAID array.  If you need pointers on it, feel
free to email sdw *at* codon *dot* com .

1. Linux Driver for Mylex DAC-960 SCSI controller

Mylex DAC-960 seems to be a pretty popular SCSI controller for servers.
Unfortunately, there seems to be no Linux driver for it. Does anybody
know of a Linux driver for this card?  (anything under development ?)

I have a server with Windows NT installed but I am unable to get Linux
working with that card. Any suggestions for a server-class SCSI
controller for Linux ?
