Man, what is it about aic-78xx??? Debian choked on it until I booted a 
kernel d/l'ed from the website that only had aic-78xx drivers: the 
profusion of SCSI drivers confused either the host card or the kernel.

And it's a great adapter card, otherwise, and since then. Windos, OS/2,
Linux, works great -- just that one install. Debian stomped on my partitions 
like a six year-old on Matchbox cars in a sandbox. :)
