I have more time now, so I'd be glad to help out.  Are we coordinating
any efforts or are we just cranking out kernel images and patches
regardless?

Incidentally, I can test on a Dell PowerEdge 6300 server with 3 Adaptec
SCSI controllers in it (2 U2W [7890] and 1 narrow [7860]).  That should
be a pretty good test.  :)

Let me know what to do.  BTW, please Cc me since I am not subscribed to
the debian-testing list.

Thanks,
