I too am having trouble getting 2.1.5 to handle my Adaptec AHA2940AU
scsi adapter. It seems to respond to probing, but gets the
"[no driver assigned]" message (see boot-time messages excerpt below).
Is the I/O address mismatch the problem? Can I do anything about it?
(preferably without getting into the driver source - I had a preliminary
peek - ouch!)

This seems to agree with the data given by the Adaptec Bios setup routine:
AHA 2940AU at Bus:Device 00:0Bh
IRQ 10
I/O Port 6100h
Apart from the address (6100 as against 6178).
