Try looking in the Debian-User archives to find out what has to be done
to boot with an Adaptec AHA-2940/AIC 7XXX SCSI card. There are some
issues involved! I'm not sure what issues, but I think there are no
drivers for said card in the default Kernels available for debian. The
archives have (or should have) LOTS of examples of solutions for you!
