Do you know what version of the aic7xxx driver is compiled into your kernel? I believe that the "stock" 2.2.9 kernel comes with version 5.1.10... the debianized sources might have a newer one, tho. Anyway, the current driver version is 5.1.19, and Im pretty sure that some U2W bugs were squashed between the two.
You may need to generate a useable bootdisk, so you can get on long enough to compile a patched kernel...
