To make the DPT SCSI card work, I needed to make sure that module eata was loaded. So far, I have been loading eata manually using modprobe.
However, the eata module stopped working between kernel 2.6.22 and 2.6.23. (The site http://snapshot.debian.net had archived images of the kernel I could try).
I then obtained the git archive of the 2.6 linux kernel by installing the git package and git archive of the linux kernel from http://www.kernel.org, then performing a git-bisect to find the commit that caused the eata module to stop working.
By posting a bug report to the linux-scsi mailing list, the person who had updated the eata module previously supplied a patch (against the current version of eata.c in the linux source) which fixed the problem.
The patch is at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tomo/fixes/0001-eata-fix-the-sg-conversion-regression.patch
