we are trying to install sco openserver 5.6 in ibm xseries server and the server have scsi (adaptec aic 7899w) we tried all the the driver but the system showing the error panic . From where i will get the driver and how to use that during reinstalling the system.
 
I'm not sure what you've already tried, but here is where you should be able to get the driver:
ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/openserver5/pub/drivers/OSR506/btld/ad160


To install these drivers, download the btld image and the accompanying readme file and follow the step-by-step instructions.
Hopefully, you've got another UNIX system operational, which makes it easier to generate a diskette from the downloaded driver:
dd if=driver_file of=/dev/rfd0135ds18 bs=18k
Once the driver is created on floppy, boot the system on the installation media, and when you are at the "boot" prompt, specify that you want to link a new driver in.

boot: defbootstr link=ad160

This should be covered in the docs on that FTP site.
