New 2940U2W with quantum drive

Hi,

First of all, my config is
intel pr440fx motherboard with onboard adaptec 7880. have on the cable 2 9
Gig Quantum Atlas IIs (one is my boot drive), 1 4.5G Quantum Viking, and 1
4.1G(?) Quantum Grand Prix. the controller is on IRQ 9 by the bios, then
IO-APICs in the linux kernel move it to IRQ 17.

Now, I've added a new 2940U2W controller. On the controller I put a new
18.2G Quantum Atlas III (LVD,68pin).

When I bootup the computer it detects the new controller first, then the
7880. The problem with this is instead of booting into linux it says
"Insert bootable media into appropriate drive"
I'm assuming it's trying to boot from the new 18.2G drive, drive that
controller was detected first. The only was I could get it to boot was to
go into Cntrl-A on the NEW controller and turn the SCSI bios off. Then it
booted fine..the kernel detected the new drive and controller and I can
use them fine, but when it detected the new drive it says synchronus at
40MB/S..which it should be 80.

how can i get this to recognize it as 80 MB/S?
