Ouch, thats an ugly solution.
But why would it be the installer routine as opposed to some wackyness in the adaptec module? The kernel used in the installer routines for most of these distros is the same kernel used to boot the installed OS, right?
How would you go about copying the IDE disk image anyways? With ghost?

I had the exact same problem. I ended up getting around it by installing a Linux image from another machine. 2.2.18 works fine on the machine, but Red Hat 6.2's install would not reliably get past the infinite reset stage.
So, there is hope that once you get something new enough on the machine you'll be in business. You ought to be able to copy your working IDE disk image to the SCSI disk, and with a new enough kernel boot the SCSI disk.
