>Environment:
I was booting from the CD, and recieved errors while probing the CDROM drive.

>Description:
FYI.  I have the same problem with 2.2 SNAP-??

Adaptec 2940U with HP 2gig disk, NEC 3xCDROM.  While booting I get an error
about a device refusing WIDE negotiation, and the the SCSI bus time's out.
I noticed some PR's for earlier release "kern/2212, i386/3300" which appear
to describe the same problem.

FYI.  I know that there is nothing wrong with th CDROM because I have plugged
it into a Buslogic 445 card and all is well.

I would be more than willing to test some kernels for who ever is working on this
problem.  I would even be willing to help debug the problem, but would need some assistance in
getting everything set up correctly such that I could debug it.
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot a machine with a 2940U, a hard disk, and a CDROM/TAPE.
