You can try:
http://debian.efis.ucr.ac.cr/~mmagallo/resc1440+aic-5.1.15.bin
(beware! this is going to be SLOOOOOOW to download, better try between 0200
and 1400 GMT)
That's a 2.0.36 kernel, configured the same way the rescue floppy is, but
using the aic driver version 5.1.15.
I was stupid enough to remove that kernel's source ("oh, what's this
v2.0.36+debian+adaptec-from-hell dir? I dunno, let's remove it! ... no!
wait! too late"), but I don't think anyone would have anytrouble recreating
this.
A couple of weeks ago I gave this to someone here that's having the same
problems, but he's on Dallas right now and I don't have access to his box,
so I don't know if this works or not...
