Well, this is most likely not a problem with the AH2940 driver (which is in 2.1R) but with the PCI probe code, and Compaq's annoying non-compliance to the PCI specs. What messages regarding PCI are written if you enter "-v" at the "Boot: " prompt ? Can you try booting the floppy from the latest SNAP, which got special code to deal with this Compaq problem ?
