I also have the 2940UW. I sup'ed -stable on May 5, and I've been
having this problem ever since, too!

I also have a Diamond Stealth 64 VRAM. All my devices are on the
internal narrow bus.

In the Adaptec's setup, I've disabled wide for all SCSI ID's 0 through
7; I had to do this even to get 2.1.0-RELEASE to work with my Exabyte
4200i 4mm DAT drive. Is that what you meant (disabling per SCSI ID),
or is there some other global setting that I missed?
I'll try some of the other hints and patches that Justin mentioned, and
I'll let you know the results.
