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,
