ALL Adaptec SCSI Cards (except for a few bleeding edge 64-bit PCI cards)
are supported, out-of-the-box using stock kernels on all versions of
CentOS (3.x, 4.x, and 5.x):

On my CentOS 4.8 box:

sauron.deepsoft.com% strings /lib/modules/2.6.9-89.0.16.EL/kernel/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx.ko |grep 2930
Adaptec 2930CU SCSI adapter
Adaptec 2930C Ultra SCSI adapter (VAR)
Adaptec 2930 Ultra SCSI adapter
Adaptec 2930 Ultra2 SCSI adapter

And in a CentOS 5.2 install:

sauron.deepsoft.com% strings /CentOS52/lib/modules/2.6.18-92.el5/kernel/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx.ko | grep 2930
Adaptec 2930CU SCSI adapter
Adaptec 2930C Ultra SCSI adapter (VAR)
Adaptec 2930 Ultra SCSI adapter
Adaptec 2930 Ultra2 SCSI adapter

It is supported.
