Yes, but I would suggest upgrading to a later driver revision.
See:

The default driver in RedHat 7.1 was Doug's aic7xxx
driver.  Are you sure that you are using the newer one?

Includeing replacing the cables/terminators/drive?
I've tracked such problems down to a bent pin *on
the drive* before.

They've been pretty slow in taking up newer driver
drops, so a big kick might help. 8-)
