Adaptec/Seagate SCSI

Hi, I'm trying to set up Infomagic's 3/95 distribution on a
P100 with an Adaptec 2940W SCSI controller and a Seagate 32550
"Barracuda" 2.15 Gig drive.  I also have an NEC 4xi SCSI cdrom.  
Does anyone out there have any advice/outlines for doing this?  
I know there may be some patches/problems with the Adaptec
controller.  Email responses would greatly be appreciated.

I have no personal experience with it, but I have seen many posts to the
effect that the 2940W driver is unusable.  Look in comp.os.linux.hardware.

1. SCSI Lockup Question (Adaptec & Seagate)

    Hi all, I have a PR440 (Providence) Dual PPro Motherboard. Currently
I only have 1 200 MHz process on it with 64 MBs RAM and on the harddrive
end a 9.1 Seagate Medalist SCSI harddrive.  I was having random lockups
with the computer and I initally thought it was the processor then when
I went into the SCSI utility bios and did a harddisk check it locks the
computer up when it reaches a point between 40% and 65%.  I have double
check termination on the harddrive and made sure the controllers
software controlled terminator was activated.  I called up seagates'
automated help line and they suggested changing the way the terminator
gets its power from "It supplies its own" to "It gets it from the bus".
I still get a lockup.  Any ideas whats going on here? (Please email if
possible)
