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.
I don't find a current maintainer for aic7xxx listed in MAINTAINERS.
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.

Feel free to send me the oops.

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