Subject:   Adaptec 3940W and kernel panics

	We've recently added a 3940W and some wide disks to our
newsserver, and it has been panicking and trashing the disks on that
controller about every two days since the disks were installed.

	Our kernel boot says:

[. . .]
Probing for devices on PCI bus 0:
chip0 <Intel 82437 (Triton)> rev 1 on pci0:0

	The appropriate area of the kernel config file says:

controller      ncr0
options "SCSI_NCR_MAX_TAGS=0"  #for that HP C3725
# ahc: Adaptec 274x/284x/294x, always:
controller      ahc0
#controller      ahc1    at isa? bio irq ? vector ahcintr
#form after 1/5/96
controller      ahc1
controller      ahc2

controller      scbus0
device          ch0     #SCSI media changers
device          sd0     #SCSI disks
device          st0     #SCSI tapes
device          cd0     #SCSI CD-ROMs

	We're running 2.1-STABLE.

	Any ideas? Thanks.
