I just installed 6.4 on a new system with a 2940UW card. Not sure if it was a pro card or not but i was brand new last month.
You can tell what type of card it is by watching the SCSI BIOS output as the card initialises itself and gropes all the devices hanging off it. Just before you get the "press CNTL/A for setup" prompt. There's no problem with the standard 2940UW (AFAIK), just the Pro version! If you've got yours working ok, it ain't a Pro!!
Only problem i had was that i had to install a wide (68 pin) harddrive for it to boot off of. the 50 pin ones would not boot. they do work as a mounted drive thou.
I don't compile the kernel to use the drive as a module as the system is totally scsi and i took out the initr part of the kernel compile so it would not work as a module. Other that, it works fine for me.
Noted for the future. :-) Thanks, a. -- Andy Nudd Oh no! It can't be! That the kindly, noble Zachary Smith could end up in this infernal place. It's not fair.
