Adaptec 2940AU (BIOS-Update)

Symptom:

Linux runs properly but the system comes to a complete halt when booting another system.

Ursache:

The BIOS of this SCSI-Adapter is faulty.

Solution:

Please update the BIOS to 1.3 or later; please contact the Adaptec support!

As an alternative, you can try to "disable" the BIOS of this SCSI adapter unless you need it e.g. for booting from the harddrive or from a floppy.

Thanks to Andreas Melk and Thorbjoern Ravn Andersen for the hints.
