Mike I have a 2840 SCSI controller, which, as I understand, has the same chip set and driver. I find that to get the boot floppy up, I have to have a kernel that knows about only the 2940 controller, not all the vast panoply of SCSI and other controllers. At least I could not get the kernel on the stock boot floppy to boot successfully. I replaced the kernel on the boot floppy with my old kernel, which worked fine. I'll recompile a new, later kernel later, but that worked enough to get me up. Maybe someone can tell me the right way to do this.
