Great! It boots up fine on my IBM netfinity system with 2.5.37.

I see:

[ boot up stuff deleted ]

scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.10
        <Adaptec aic7896/97 Ultra2 SCSI adapter>
        aic7896/97: Ultra2 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs

scsi1 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.10
        <Adaptec aic7896/97 Ultra2 SCSI adapter>
        aic7896/97: Ultra2 Wide Channel B, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs

I turned on the debug flags, there were a bunch of odd messages
in there, but otherwise it seems to be working fine. My .config
has the following AIC config options:

CONFIG_SCSI_AIC7XXX=y
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_CMDS_PER_DEVICE=253
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_RESET_DELAY_MS=15000
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_ALLOW_MEMIO=y
# CONFIG_AIC7XXX_PROBE_EISA_VL is not set
# CONFIG_AIC7XXX_BUILD_FIRMWARE is not set
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_DEBUG_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_DEBUG_MASK=0
CONFIG_AIC7XXX_REG_PRETTY_PRINT=y
# CONFIG_SCSI_AIC79XX is not set

Weird boot time messages:
