2940UW lockups, pls help

[Wes Brown]

Hi all,

  just wanted to say thanks to everyone that offered suggestions.  It
seems to be working now.  I re-installed (and compiled) the kernel.  and
I took out all the drives one by one to check the termination on them
and I found that one of them wasnt terminated properly, I also didn't
have the cdrom in the right place in the scsi chain.

thanks again,
