bad patch in aic7xxx_linux.c
Marcelo,
In patch-2.4.17-pre2, a nonsensical change was made in linux/drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_linux.c . While apparently harmless, it suggests to me that you had intended to fold in an entirely different patch, and "missed".
I don't find a current maintainer for aic7xxx listed in MAINTAINERS.

Missed? That patch fixes a lethal bug.

It's listed in the aic7xxx sources, but the fix in question came to Marcelo via Jens Axboe.
Franks a lot,

Its not nonsensical: It fixes a critical bug as David pointed out.

Indeed, I missed that the value was also passed to ahc_linux_map_seg() before being clobbered in the next statement.

One can guess, but there are no addresses for anyone noted there later than 1999. In particular, Justin's address isn't listed.
I am interested in hotplugged aic7xxx (1480 CardBus). I will be posting an Oops shortly related to that, unless somebody tells me not to bother.

I monitor this list. A Yahoo search using my name provides several hits for my email address.

Your contact information really ought to be up to date in the sources and linux/MAINTAINERS
