With the 2.6.9 there's a scsi module called "sym53c8xx".

I used to compile the kernels myself, but i got tired. I don't need
external patch to support special HW, so the Debian binary packages
are ok for me.

trouble to creating one that works, for example the config you'll find
with one of the binary package...
