Default Re: Boot failure- Mac OS ROM checksum failure...SCSI

I had a similar symptom, caused as it happens by a toasted 2940UW card.

Oh, and talking of customer service, Adaptec essentially told me I was hosed. When I went to nag them about it (I have purchase dox and everything) they stopped responding.

The card is sitting in my tech shop as we speak...

Anyhow, a cable failure shorted something out on the 68-pin connector on that card, and the mac just wouldn't boot with the card in place. Card goes out, Mac OK.

I would try Jon's suggestions...
