  Have you tried a kernel that works?  I have seen similar weird problems
trying to install 2.4-based distros at home, which promptly disappeared when
I switched back to 2.2.

  As I am sure you are painfully aware, it is common enough that two
different parties will interpret a specification slightly differently, and
this will lead to a conflict.  One or both will have to work around it.  So
it could be an Adaptec problem solved by Plextor firmware.  :-)
