Having this card:

buki at ns1:/root/Adaptec/SMBE#dmesg -a | grep aac
aac0: <Adaptec SCSI RAID 2120S> mem 0xf0000000-0xf3ffffff irq 5 at device 5.0 on pci3
aac0: i960RX 100MHz, 48MB cache memory, optional battery present
aac0: Kernel 4.0-0, Build 5770, S/N b7743b
aacd0: <RAID 1 (Mirror)> on aac0
aacd0: 34998MB (71677440 sectors)

I managed to compile kernel with AAC_COMPAT_LINUX:
buki at ns1:/root/Adaptec/SMBE#grep -i aac /sys/i386/conf/NS1
device          aac             # Adaptec FSA RAID, Dell PERC2/PERC3
#device         aacp            # SCSI passthrough for aac (requires CAM)
options         AAC_COMPAT_LINUX

created /dev/aac0:

buki at ns1:/root/Adaptec/SMBE#cd /dev; sh MAKEDEV aac0

copied aaccli from Adaptec CD-ROM supplied with the card:

buki at ns1:/root/Adaptec/SMBE#file bin/aaccli
bin/aaccli: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

but I still get wrong answer:

dmesg says:

buki at ns1:/root/Adaptec/SMBE#dmesg -a | grep aac
aac0: <Adaptec SCSI RAID 2120S> mem 0xf0000000-0xf3ffffff irq 5 at device 5.0 on pci3

aacd0: 34998MB (71677440 sectors)

Do you know where the problem may be?

I believe you, although the option is not mentioned in LINT:
buki at ns1:/root/Adaptec/SMBE#uname -a
FreeBSD ns1.xxx.cz 4.8-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE #0: Wed Jul 23 23:09:42 GMT 2003     buki at ns1.xxx.cz:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/NS1  i386

buki at ns1:/root/Adaptec/SMBE#grep -i aac /sys/i386/conf/LINT
device          aac
device          aacp    # SCSI Passthrough interface (optional, CAM required)
