We are using a 2940UW and it is working great in BSDI. You should probably consult your motherboard manual and start disabling junk until you can get it to work. If you have any other PCI devices installed, I would suggest removing them and see if you can get it to boot. Also, check your PCI settings in your BIOS. I believe you want the card to be in the master slot. Hope this helps...
