You may be having a problem like this one:

Well, search the archives, a few people have problems with the 2940 and the "new" ahc driver. I whined about it a lot because my machine was one of the few that gave the error but *didn't* crash (so it wasn't bad enough for me to buy another controller...). I "fixed" it by using the patch in the message above. I'm guessing my problem has something to do with Compaq's funny PCI BIOS in my Deskpro 2000 MMX; since you have a PPro, your BIOS may be old enough to be funny, too.

Check your hardware just to be safe, then either put back the "old" ahc driver or get another card. I was browsing eBay today, and Compaq SMART/2 series controllers are under $50, and they're supposed to be supported. Received on Mon Jan 20 12:55:01 2003
