Problem with adaptec SCSI card

I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my G4 Mac.  I have an Adaptec SCSI 
card with a 9GB drive attached to it.  I want this drive to be my 
boot volume.

I get the installer to run, but when it attempts to detect CD-Rom 
drives, I get an error:

"Error while running 'modprobe -v aic7xxx'"

I have an option to continue, but when I do, this part of he 
installer hangs at 16%.

If I remove the SCSI card, everything is fine.

I should note that this card had previously worked with Yellow Dog 
Linux.  Is there any way I can modify the installer, or tell it not 
to look to SCSI cards for CD-ROM drives?

Thanks,
...ROMeyn
