Very Computer

Hi

I have an Adaptec 2940 SCSI card with the AHA-2940S76. It came with
Bios version 1.21.

When trying to boot from the slackware 3.0 bootdisk ad2940 I get
0 SCSI hosts detected. I saw, in some other posting that the Bios
might be the problem so I tried with Bios version 1.23 and got the
same problem.

Any ideas ??

Thanks in advance

I find this problem very interesting indeed, because I am having it myself right know
aswell. Unfortunately I don't know an answer either...

I receive an additional warning message from the boot kernel (same kernel
as Andre is using) stating that there is an unknown pci-device.

One recommendation I was given was to remove my ne2000, but this card wasn't
responsible.

I have an asus PCI/I P4SP54 motherboard, I wonder whether some motherboard specifics
might be involved in this. If other people having the same problem could have a look at
this, maybe this would be useful.

Needless to say that I would be very thankful for any recommendation, too.

Thanks a lot.

Got the same motherboard and 2940 (ver 1.2).  I found a Redhat kernels
works great for me.  Because Redhat kept moving it, I copied it to
ftp.skypoint.com/pub/members/b/bkfoddy

Only file in there (its gzipped, so unzip it first)

I tried to remove my network card but still get the same problem. By
the way I also get the same message as Rolf: unknown pci-device.

Any help would be appreciated.

I have used kernel 1.3.74 and recompiled to support the AHA-2940 SCSI
card with a variety of SCSI hard drives, the largest being a 4 Gig
Fujitsu.
