I'm trying to get a firm answer from the folks who originally
discvoered the problem some time back, it seems you have two options:

 - during installation of RHEL4 (and not RHEL4U1), load with the
   'noprobe' option:

        linux noprobe

   and manually select the appropriate drivers to load.

 - (post installation) modify the /etc/modprobe.conf to and rename the
   qla2300 entry to qla2322 (i.e.):

        alias scsi_hostadapter1 qla2322

   modify the modules.pcimap table to load qla2322 for the 2322
   device-id:

        qla2300         0x00001077      0x00002322      ...

   to:

        qla2322         0x00001077      0x00002322      ...


Beyond that, I'd suggest you log a report with Redhat, as that's the
extent of the workaround knowledge without going to RHEL4U1.

Hope this helps,
