PLEASE HELP!!

I have at least installed NTAS 3.51 eight times on ASUS Dual Pentium/120MHz,
64MB, AHA-2940 for boot drive, AHA-3940W w/ 2 Seagate 2GB WideSCSI HD's!
Everything seemed working at first, and I could create a stripped set from
those 2 Seagate drives.  But every time after I installed sp2, disk 
administrator would then tell me that the 1st HD was removed or off-line, and
the stripped logical volume can not be used!  Does anyone have the same
experience?  I noticed that there's a new AIC78XX.SYS in sp2.  I tried to 
reinstall the original dirver distribution, but system locked up on the login
screen fully after the reboot.

Also I have to leave the next PCI slot open so that the 3940W can use that
slot's assigned IRQ to find channel B.  According to Adaptec, this is caused
by MB/BIOS design bugs.  Can anyon explain why, if that's the case?

Many thanks in advance!!
