The install disks don´t have this problem.

You´d just have to copy a working kernel onto the resc1440 disk.
(It´s a DOS disk btw)., the file is called linux. Get the kernel from redhats ftp archive.
If you are able to boot MILO (The MILO HOWTO will help you at that), then this should be enough.
Otherwise you´d have to exchange milo too.
BTW. Does anybody else have problems with AIC ?
If so, I think there is a patch out there, which could be included into the kernel-patch package.
