Hi,
today I tried 5.1.4 on my linux box with two A2940UW on Asus P/I-P65UP5
baseboard with C-P6ND cpu-card (chipset 440FX) +2 PentiumPRO-200.

The driver just didn't find any drive (and so messages are not logged ;-)
but it was something like "detection time out for host 0 channel 0 resetting"
and then "trying harder", looping ever and ever.

I stopped it after ~20 iterations and booted back with a 2.0.33 linux 
kernel (Adaptec AHA274x/284x/294x (EISA/VLB/PCI-Fast SCSI) 4.1.1/3.2.1))
That is the last known working driver on my box, with just a few errors
sometimes... e.g:
  Oct  2 16:36:45 zeus-rcg kernel: scsi : aborting command due to timeout : 
  pid 61985, scsi0, channel 0, id 4, lun 0 Write (6) 1e 80 67 02 00 
  Oct  2 16:36:47 zeus-rcg kernel: SCSI host 0 abort (pid 61934) timed out 
  - resetting
  Oct  2 16:36:47 zeus-rcg kernel: SCSI bus is being reset for host 0 channel 0.
  Oct  2 16:36:47 zeus-rcg kernel: (scsi0:0:8:0) Sending reply SDTR.
  Oct  2 16:36:47 zeus-rcg kernel: (scsi0:0:4:0) Sending reply SDTR.
  Oct  2 16:36:49 zeus-rcg kernel: (scsi0:0:2:0) Sending reply SDTR.  

this just hangs the machine for a few seconds but does seldom crash it
(only when the watchog card timeout is reached).

Is there any hope for my cards or should I change them for another brand ?
(I have tried all aic7xxx drivers since kernel 2.0.33 and I still need a
stable one because this machine is my main nfs/appletalk/samba server).

Best regards,
Nicolas.
