I actually have just the opposite problem (kinda surprising).

I have an older Adaptec 2940UW (purchased with my Dell in Oct. 1996).  I
was having no major problems (although I never got UW settings working
quite right) communicating with internal HD and Zip drives and an
external DAT drive.  This was using kernels 2.0.0 through 2.0.23. 
Recently I decided it was time to upgrade to 2.0.31, and now many errors
occur during the boot when it tries to establish communication with the
DAT drive (the internal devices are just fine).  After boot it cannot
recognize the DAT.

I posted a detailed message (complete with all the errors) a while back
to here and/or comp.os.linux.setup with out any responses.

So any time I need to use the DAT drive I have to boot into an older
kernel.
