This seems to be one of those things that Debian leadership and/or
developers are not addressing. I have VLB2842 based card and I _never_
got a stock boot disk to work with that setup...I would like to help you
by giving you my kernel (compiled on my machine), but I'm not a
programer and I don't know how to make boot floppies. Sorry.
The problem seems to be due to whole _slew_ of different SCSI driver
probes on the stock boot floppy which confuse the Adaptec AIC7*** based
cards and cause panic. I have had my (AIC7**** based) kerenel compiled
by a kind soul who had her own ftp site and she just posted it there for
my benefit at the time. Maybe you could ask someone ( using this list)
to do the same for you?
Good luck
