This is what /proc/pci reports > to me about the card: I have similar problems with 2.0.35 and my 2940. 2.0.34 worked fine, but since my boot disk is SCSI, I can't boot with 2.0.35. Also, with 2.1.117, I can boot (after a few errors are reported), but my SCSI CD-ROM is identified as a disk and hence is not usable. Apparently when I boot 2.1.117, I mess up the SCSI bus (CD-ROM?) and when I subsequently boot to NT, my CD-ROM is still FUBAR. The only way to go between 2.1.117 and NT is via a shutdown/poweroff/poweron sequence! Any help would be appreciated! Cheers, -- W.
