I'm using an Adaptec 2940 with the aic7xxx driver without any problems (Linux 2.4.9, 2.4.13). If I remember correctly, some people has success using the old aic7xxx driver (aic7xxx_old) instead of the new one. It's also included in the standard kernels. If this also happens with current kernels (2.4.13), please write also to the developers of the kernel driver. Bye, Henning
