I've tryed various boot images and no luck. All I get is '0 SCSI | hosts' at bootup. For Linux 1.2.x, I believe you have to integrate the patches for the 2940 controller yourself. I was just configuring 1.3.21, and noticed that 2940 support is now part of the standard release. -- Michael Meissner, Cygnus Support (East Coast) Suite 105, 48 Grove Street, Somerville, MA 02144, USA meissner@cygnus.com, 617-629-3016 (office), 617-629-3010 (fax)
