 hmm ... Okay .. looks like all needed modules are there.

 helios:~# rgrep sym53c8 /etc/
 helios:~# rgrep qlogic /etc/

 And hopefully the modules gets loaded by hotplug/discover voodoo.

In case anybody comes in the same rush ... you need to 
install firmware-qlogic _before_ installing linux-image. In case you do 
after, you need to rebuild the initial ramdisk! (And no, it doesn't work with 
bpo kernel)

With kind regards, Jan.

Not sure if there are known issues for that specific model, but there are 
general issues. See:
