A system that works is more useful to you than one which doesn't-- maybe that
would be best.

There are people who are a lot more expert than I at interpreting Adaptec card
dumps lurking on these lists, but honestly, there isn't much here to go on.
My first take would have been to double-check the cabling, and retest the
hardware in another machine. But if the hardware seems to work using another
OS, well, the easy answers are out. I might try disabling your ATA controller
entirely, if you are not using it, to remove the first error message...
