Re: Linux + Adaptec 2940U2W = ??

[Jeff DeMaagd <jeffdemaagd yahoo com>]

Can you update your ARC?  That may be your initial
problem.  Have you managed to get other SCSI cards to
work in this system?

The current MILO has an old version of the 78xx
chipset driver, it does not support the U2W units.  I
have a U2W myself in a DPWS 500a.  I go to Linux using
the floppy boot procedure, it is crude but it does
work.

I have yet to get milo to build personally.  I have a
U2W myself in a DPWS 500a.  A person with a suse.de
email said he is working on updating milo to the 2.2
kernels.

Replace the card, and the system locks on kernel
bootup again.
