aic7xxx kernel

[Richard Hall <hall@ns.utk.edu>]

I installed Debian using a pre-compiled set of disks made especially for
the Adaptec 2940 SCSI card, and now I am trying to make a custom kernel.
I know what I'm doing, but I can't figure out which options to choose
during 'make config' to get a working kernel.  I've tried several
permutations.  Here's what happens:

When I boot with the precompiled kernel and its starting to deal with the
SCSI bus, it says:

(scsi0) Downloading sequencer code . . . 419 instructions read

then it boots fine

When I boot with my custom floppy:

(scsi0) Downloading sequencer code . . . 406 instructions read

then it reports a parity error and falls into an infinite failure loop

Can anyone tell me which parameters to choose during 'make config' to fix
this?  There are three questions that come up when I choose the AIC7xxx
driver.  I've answered yes and no to overriding driver defaults, yes and
no to verbose error reporting, and tried 5 and 15 second waits after
resetting SCSI bus.  What am I missing?

TIA,
