Both kernels were stock Debian packages from the testing distribution -
kernel-image-2.4.27-1-386 and kernel-image-2.6.8-1-k7.
kernel-image-2.4.27-1-386 includes the a100u2w module in the package, so
simply running mkinitrd (and adding a100u2w to the appropriate configs)
yeilded a working initrd.
kernel-image-2.6.8-1-k7 does NOT include the a100u2w module in the
package, but after compiling the module from the relavant Debian source
tree and copying it into the kernel/drivers/scsi directory, mkinitrd
produced a working initrd for it, too.
