Steve,  it doesn't surprise me that your box is running fine with the
Adaptec card, but it so happens that we do have a SCSI Device Support
for that card that you have.  The drivers on our box does not have a
device driver for my particular type of card.  However, I did notice
that the last line in my kernel stated "pci0....driver not loaded" which
tells me it knows that I have a card sitting on my pci bus, but it
doesn't know what to do with it.  This card came with device drivers for
win 95, os2, netware, unix.  I'm not sure, but I'm going to try
installing the drivers for unix environment and see what happens.
