About grml and adp94: adp94 was dropped in the meantime because it never compiled for newer kernel versions and aic94 worked for most controllers. In fact, you are the first one who reports, that it doesn't work (Maybe you enabled RAID in the BIOS?) I will check again if newer adp94 versions will compile with 2.6.21 kernel and I also will precompile modules for debian etch. But this will take some time, especially as IBM now uses LSI controllers instead of Adaptec so my new Servers don't need adp94xx any longer.
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.
We've had a patch for kernel 2.6.18-grml, if you didn't use that patch yet you could give it a try at least:
