I've been trying to install 2.1.5 on my 2940A Ultra SCSI Card,
but without any luck. The system kept saying " no hard disks
have been found", I even tried "-c" in "boot:", but could
not find the device "ahc0" in the cofigeration. I've used the
same boot disk to install 2.1.5 on two computer systems without
any problems, both have 2940 normal SCSI Card.

Then I tried the boot disks boot.flp and boot4.flp from 
2.2.10.14-SNAP, wow..it could find my SCSI Card, SCSI hard disk
and SCSI CDROM, but everytime when it almost finished the installation
, it showed me the message " Fetal Signal 11 caught, I'm dead...".

Has anybody installed 2.1.5 on 2940A Ultra SCSI? Please help me, I
will appreciate you a lot!

Please email me directly, thanks! ( thomas@dircon.co.uk )
