You have to give us a LOT more information.

What messages are you seeing?

What do you mean you can't load RH?  
 You can't install it?
 The installer starts but can't figure out where to put things?
 You installed it but can't boot off of it?
 The boot loader sees it but can't load it?

When you do the install, what disk partitioning tool are you using?  fdisk, or 
disk druid?

Is the SCSI card supported by the install kernel?  What about the installed 
kernel?

Are you doing a text install or a graphical install?
