I have the same controller, and I had to download a boot disk compiled specifically for the 2940. You can get it at http://www.debian.org/~adric/aic7xxx/
You may also run into trouble compiling your own kernel. You just need to apply a patch to the drivers which can be found at ftp://ftp.dialnet.net/pub/linux/aic7xxx That address is in the file linux/drivers/scsi/README.aic7xxx including in the kernel source. Good luck. On Mon, 11 Jan 1999, Jim Harback wrote: > I have an Adaptec 2940U2W SCSI controller. During the intital > installation procedure debian can't seem to find it.
