Now this >may be my inability to properly set up the box, I'm not ruling that out, You didn't have to run a 1.3.x kernel, since patches to the 1.2.13 kernel were available for the Adaptec 2940. In fact, the 2940 and 1.2.13 kernel is what we run here (www.alumni.berkeley.edu). As I'm sure you're aware, the 1.x.y kernels, where "x" is odd, is an experimental kernel, so your experiences MIGHT have been due to running experimental code.
