Well, at last I get resynced with the development kernel,
5.0.19 finally works with 2.1.106 (+patch or 2.1.106-ac1), after
many reboots I finally found the thing that was screwing things up.
I have the ultra scsi speed enabled, and the maximun transfer rate
was set to 40 Mb/s for all devices, changing this to 20 Mb/s (= disabling
ultra speed) for the cdroms devices made things works again!, I have
an Adaptec 2940 on board (on a SuperMicro P6DLS), and now
2.1.106-ac1+pcspeaker patch+joystick-1.2.2 is working as well as 2.1.102.
By the way, why not including the joystick driver into the dev. series,
it's working fine here (analog joystick and Logitech digital joystick),
and anyway, more people could test it if it were included in the standard
series. In the other hand the loop device still doesn't work, it would
hang up the kernel, you can change the terminal but cannot write anything
althoug CTRL+BlqScroll and SHIFT+BlqScroll work, CTRL+ALT+DEL doen't work.
That's all, and please test this solution for the aic7xxx resets
problems, (I had to enable no_reset and pci_parity, this last both in lilo
and in the Adaptec BIOS).
