I'm trying to install Linux on the PC mentionned in the subject.
It has a AHA2940/UW SCSI adapter and a Matrox Millenium graphic board
on the PCI bus. The CDROM is an ATAPI compatible one on EIDE.
When I try to boot aha2x4x.s from a floppy created with rawrite, the
CDROM is recognized, but the AHA2940/UW is not : scsi hosts : 0...
When I go on with color.gz and get the root prompt, looking at
/proc/pci shows nothing on the PCI bus.
Same story with Red Hat distribution (with other boot files of course)
from the Infomagik CDROM distrib.
My system BIOS is made by Phoenix (V4.05) and the SCSI adapter's BIOS
is at V1.22S.
Notice that W95 and WNT 4.0 both recognize the HW.
Any similar experience/suggestion or a solution to this problem ?
Many thank's in advance for your help and best regards !

Did you not search this conference for '2940'?
(Notes 304,341,356, et al seem to cover the subject.)

I had to use 2.0 or higher kernel to get the PCI chip on my AHA2940
to be recognized. I'm using RedHat 4.0 now and it works fine.
