Should I also enable debugging, if so, which mode?
The Adaptec Ultra320 cards (aic79xx) do not work reliably on Tyan Thunder motherboards. Lots of SCSI errors and eventually complete system lockup. I guess those motherboards have a crappy PCI bus with a lot of noise that can't cope with the high transfer speed of these SCSI cards. I suggest you try an Ultra160 card. We have 3 Tyan Thunder based systems here (those are dual Athlon MP2800) that work fine with Adaptec Ultra160 cards (aic7xxx) but give lots of errors with the Ultra320 cards.
