  The adaptec should look exactly like a WD controller. I suggest that
you go back to the original driver with fewer heads and tracks than you
have and try that. If that works then you know that your change to the
correct drive parameters caused the problem. It is possible that the
kernal assumes some things about the disk, or that there is some table
which still says 17 sectors.

  Good luck!
