The rescue disk should work fine. We've got a couple P-IIs here with
2940s and all is well.
In some instances you will have to use a boot kernel that only has the
aic7xxx driver enabled, but that is rare with the PCI versions. More
common are termination problems on the wide bus - some vendors seem to
think it's cool to use passive terminators on the wide bus (Compaq, for
example). I've found that active termination is far more reliable with
Adaptec cards.
