If possible switch to Your first controller and figure out if this change solve the problem, if so You have to reformat and reinstall Your Debian, however the adaptecs are very strange. I have had a similar problem while changing a adaptec 1542 C to adaptec 2940 AU. result was I must reformat my drives and reinstall Linux Adaptec is really groovy, isn't it ? ;-( if not boot from disk and try a new lilo-configuration.
