Re: [Debian] support for Adaptec 2940UW2 ?
Ok, I'm downloading the boot-floppies package at this very moment, and will shortly check into what's required to create an installation diskette. I may not have the chance to actually create it until after work tomorrow, so it could be about a day from now before you recieve it. I'll email you the image-file as soon as I have it available... you'll need access to a system where you can write it to a diskette (using rawrite2 on dos/windows, dd on linux/unix, etc.).

Re: [Debian] support for Adaptec 2940UW2 ?
I think that the new version of the aic7xxx driver (5.1.2, if I remember right) supports the 2940U2W. You can pull down a copy from ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/aic/. This may not help you if you don't have another Debian system available, from which to create a custom install disk... I can probably generate one for you if you aren't able to do it yourself (it might take a day or two however). You might try asking on the aic7xxx mailing-list. Send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], with a body of "subscribe AIC7xxx" (no subject required).

I've seen someone else post one as well. It's not the latest version, but it's good enough to get you installed from which you can then build your own kernel. (I will get around to updating it sometime over the weekend). ftp://ftp.eecs.umich.edu/people/steveh/debian/resc1440.bin

Unfortunately I don't think you're going to be able to install unless you've got a hard drive on another interface, e.g., IDE. There is a driver that will work with the 2940U2W but you either have to install kernel 2.125 or kernel 2.0.35 with a patch from ftp://ftp.dialnet.net/pub/linux/aic7xxx in order to use your 2940U2W. There are boot disks for SuSe and Redhat at that site but I haven't seen anyone do the equivalent for Debian. Gary
[Debian] support for Adaptec 2940UW2 ?
Howdy, I'm trying to install Linux on a machine with an ADAPTEC 2940UW-2 SCSI board but it keeps on saying scsi: 0 hosts ore something like that. I know there is support for the 2940UW but I'm not sure whether this is the same board. Does anybody have any experience with this scsi board?
