I'm having lots of problems here .... Very odd ... I built a system with an old Adaptec ISA board - over ethernet and it was fine. I plug in an Adaptec 2940 and it just won't boot. Sits there saying "No operating system" (or something). When I try a rebuild from scratch, it freezes when doing the newfs part of the installation. Sometimes on the first disk, sometimes on the others. System config is: Asus montherboard, 48MB RAM, DX4/100, 256K cache, PCI based video card, 3c590 ethernet card and either a crappy old ISA based Adaptec card or the 2940 PCI card. 3 drives, 2 x 1GB Seagate Medalists and a 4GB Micropolis. (Theres terminating resistors on the micropolis, termination is disabled on the other 2 drives). I'm loading a 2.2 snapshot version (960501-SNAP) so I can use the 3c590 ethernet card and it works a treat with the crappy old ISP Adaptec card and doesn't work at all with the new one )-: Any insight to this problem? I've tried 2 different 2940's too, so I don't think that there is a board problem... Gordon
