I haven't tried any of the posted kernel images.  I did, however, (only) 
unapply the cia_core.c patch to kernel-source-2.6.6 and recompile with the 
configuration file that comes with kernel-image-2.6.6-1-generic.  The QLogic 
driver worked fine.

I'm certainly all for getting the cia_core.c patch revoked!  There was some 
discusion on what it was for.  The patch file from kernel-patch-debian-2.6.6 
seems claim it was suppose to:

+* Setup two 1G mappings if cia_rev == 1 in arch/alpha/kernel/core_cia.c.

Now if we can get whatever patch is stopping my CMD IDE controller from 
working revoked as well, and my ALSA patch for the ES18xx applied, I'll be 
able to start using Debian kernels again (that would be a good thing)!
