My understanding were that Adaptec cards were very well supported. My card works flawlessly under 2.2.17. This is the first kernel 2.4 that has fully built the debian way on my system (Nautilus). I have tried both generic and nautilus kernels, and the same problem.
The 2.4 series have been nothing but painful on my system. The main 3 reasons I want to get them working is:
1. Sound Blaster Live! support
2. DRI, and agpgart support for my Matrox g400
3. USB *stable* support

I'm not willing nor experienced enough to try something like this. I'll just keep trying until one of the kernels works.
