It is not compatible with recent Linux 2.1.x kernels...
printk.c relies on pre-2.1.57 signal handling, and uses VERIFY_WRITE
without including <asm/uaccess.h>.
pci.h doesn't know anything about new PCI-IDE devices.
Configure.help doesn't know anything about recent kernel features.
aic7xxx.c uses queue_task_irq_off, which hasn't been around for some time
(anyone remember exactly when it was removed?)
I've made a patched version (which will probably work ONLY with linux
2.1.x, sorry) available at ftp.bero-online.ml.org
/pub/linux/aic7xxx-5.0.1-linux21.tar.gz (and .bz2)
It works for me (K6-233, Linux 2.1.80pre4, AHA2940UW and P66, Linux
2.1.67, AHA2940), I haven't tested it anywhere else.
