I've had similar problems with one machine; its SCSI controller wasn't being recognised when I booted a kernel I built myself (one with ACPI enabled). Booting with "acpi=off" caused it to be found again. > When I boot the server from a Knoppix CD, it finds the drives and uses the > aic7xxx.o module as a driver. IIRC, the Knoppix CD includes scripts which make it easy to use it as an installer for Debian. I don't know if that's feasible for woody, and there may be some knoppix-specific leftovers.
