This is the output while compiling aic7xxx_old.c:

aic7xxxx_old.c compiles in 2.5.12 and 2.5.7-dj3, although it may be broken in some other way.
Is it appropriate to edit .config to use the new driver by setting:CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX=yCONFIG_AIC7XXX_CMDS_PER_DEVICE=253 CONFIG_AIC7XXX_RESET_DELAY_MS=15000
Is the new driver experimental, or ?

Stereotypical "needs error handling code" errors.

Yep. Removal of the abort/reset methods shows us which SCSI drivers don't have any error handling. So they 'worked' up until you got an error, and then...

I've no experience of either driver in practice, so I'm not actually sure what the game plan is here. Someone want to fill us in? Justin?

Since I have not reviewed how the driver has been modified for 2.5, I can't really say much about its status in that branch. The driver is not "experimental" in the 2.4 branch.
