I am trying to install Debian etch 4.0 which is now stable. I thought installing for sarge would be a good staring point. Maybe I could just use the 2.6.8 kernel with etch. > About grml and adp94: adp94 was dropped in the meantime because it never > compiled for newer kernel versions and aic94 worked for most > controllers.

I am getting pressure to get this installed so I am on the verge of installing RedHat (sigh!) which is supported by Supermicro, the computer manufacturer. I called Supermicro and they confirmed that the adp94 driver is necessary due to the 9410 chip. I have Debian 4.0 installed on my computer and I installed 2.6.18 sources and compiled but the source code from Adaptec is not made to build on other than RedHat and SuSE.
