I get the following error when >when executing the disksetup command: Is it possible that you have the disks plugged into the second bus on the controller? I believe that 2.1 only groks the first. BTW, I'd avoid the 3940. It's billed as a dual-channel board, but I've read that it's actually only got one set of SCSI logic on it that's multiplexed between them. So, the only advantage one gets is the ability to stick on twice as many devices.
