Subject:   2.0.5-950622-SNAP and adaptec 2940w wide mode

I had to disable wide mode on my adaptec 2940w scsi controller before
I was able to get 2.0.5-950622-SNAP installed.

I tried to install 2.0.5 from a ufs filesystem, but the install program
complained of crc errors in the distribution files.  After disabling 
wide mode the install worked fine.  If I try to boot 2.0.5 with
wide mode enabled, the kernel loads and probes the hardware, but
init dies when it tries to start up, with repeated errors that I
unfortunately didn't save but can reproduce if it will help.  2.0.5
runs fine with wide mode disabled.

Note I earlier had 2.0-950412-SNAP running with wide mode enabled, although
I got numerous scsi timeout errors unless I disabled scsi disconnects.

I have a quantum atlas 2 gig fast/wide scsi 2 disk and sony dat tape
drive attached to the 2940w.

Thanks for any help you can give me,

Bob
