I have similar problems with 2.0.35 and my 2940.  2.0.34 worked fine, but
since my boot disk is SCSI, I can't boot with 2.0.35.

Also, with 2.1.117, I can boot (after a few errors are reported), but my
SCSI CD-ROM is identified as a disk and hence is not usable.  Apparently
when I boot 2.1.117, I mess up the SCSI bus (CD-ROM?) and when  I
subsequently boot to NT, my CD-ROM is still FUBAR.  The only way to
go between 2.1.117 and NT is via a shutdown/poweroff/poweron sequence!

Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers,
