Adaptec Raid Showstopper

[Hal Burgiss]

In the midst of trying to upgrade a Dell Poweredge server from gentoo to
Ubuntu 8.04, we have hit a problem with the scsi raid controller. Essentially,
the installation goes fine, but the system will not boot due to scsi timeout
errors. It seems to be a more severe variation of this:

Same error messasges, but the system completely hangs. Does anyone know of a)
a workaround or fix for 8.04 or b) any version of Ubuntu that might work with
this controller. Thx.
