i've had that prob too on an aha 2940UW. it appears to be fixed in the newer versions of bootdisks(if there are newer?) since i havent seen that problem on my machine in a while.. i also heard rumors that the aic78xx driver doesnt like to co exist with other scsi drivers and there was a boot disk with ONLY the aic78xx scsi driver on it which solved the problem.
