Man, is the Adaptec SCSI card ever a FAQ.  
I wonder if this is in the FAQ-O-Matic...  Should be.

You might want to try the boot disk mentionned below.

I used the Debian 2.0 boot disk, and changed the kernel on it to one I
compiled (on bo, but it works anyway) with patch aic support.

It's at:
	
ftp://phys.ocean.dal.ca/users/rhogee/Debian/00readme
	
and, for ATAPI CDROM support:
	
ftp://phys.ocean.dal.ca/users/rhogee/Debian/linux
ftp://phys.ocean.dal.ca/users/rhogee/Debian/sys_map.gz
	
if you have SCSI CDROM, grab:
	
ftp://phys.ocean.dal.ca/users/rhogee/Debian/new-version/linux
ftp://phys.ocean.dal.ca/users/rhogee/Debian/new-version/sys_map.gz

I compiled PCI in, so I dunno if that will cause problems for you.

Someone else else made Debian boot disks for the aic7xxx driver at:

        http://cs.tu-berlin.de/~doko/aic7xxx/
	
so you've got two to try out!

Good luck,
