I just wanted to let you know that we start with grub on an Adaptec 2940U2W controller with no problem. On my machine I have a 2940UW that I boot from (via grub) and Larry has a 2940U2W and a 2940UW in his machine. Larry has 2 harddrives and he boots from the 2940U2W. The 2940UW has the CDRom's on it, no hard drives.  So I don't believe there is a problem with the U2W card.
