ok...ME = Pentium 74, 8 meg EDO ram
                      AHA-2940 scsi 2 PCI controller
                      Fujitsu 1gig scsi2 hard drive
                      Toshiba 6.7x scsi2 cdrom

When I am moving or coping data from the CD to the Hard drive or.
/dev/sda1 to /dev/sda6, I loose some bits along the way
(i.e. corupted files).  I had a heck of a time getting enough good
files together to recomplile my kernel.  I stored my XF86 on
the dos partition where I downloaded it to, and copied it to the
linux partition to unzip and tar.....I ended up coping files several
times to get all the files to would unzip without crc errors!

If you're haveing this prob, or if you know what I should do....
let me know.

Many thanks in advance.

I've not got my AHA2940 up under Linux yet - but I noted that under DOS
I sometimes got errors with 'chkdsk' when my SCSI bus was a bit on the long
side. Rearrageing things a bit have cured them.

Like the SCSI-HOWTO says - the 2940 is *very* fussy about termination.

Which VGA do you use ?
I had have the same problem in cojunction with the ATI MAch 64
and the ASUS P55TP4XEG.
I think it have something to do with the memoryaperture feature
of the ATI -Card.
Hope it helps.
