I'm confused.  The potato boot floppies includes CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53C8XX
in both the vanilla set and the compact set.

You have to identify what config option is required by your card, then
grep in the 'kernel-config' files in the b-f area, e.g.,
<URL:http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/>

There's not really much else I can do for the user.
