Adaptec 2940 not detected

Applicable to:
S.u.S.E. version: before 4.2
Kernel version: before 1.3.47

Since the end of 1995 2940 boards are sold which can not be detected by the SCSI driver supplied on disk (11/95).

One of the first kernel messages you will see will be something like unknown PCI-Device ... Later on the Adaptec 2940 is not detected and there is only:

SCSI: 0 hosts

and later on

VFS: unable to mount root.

The BIOS revision of the 2940 is >= 1.21 in this case .

In our mailbox (+49 911 3247122) or in ftp://ftp.suse.de/pub/November95/kernel we have a new kernel, which according to our experiences works with all current adapters.

The files one by one:
