Most are 2.2.5 Stable or 2.2.6. What level are you running ???? The card has a white label on the main chip with a revision level marked on it. The ones we have (that have the problem) are labeled: AHA-2940UW 945300-01 E Our vendor asked Adaptec about the problems, but all they would say is that they made a number of changes at that revision level. What seems funny to me, is that out of several hundred 2940's that I have, only a few are Revision E (and they came in around December) and all the cards that are recently coming out of the distribution channels are Revision D's.
