After that message I sent a patch to Fedora's kernel list, and a reminder a few months later[1]. That prompted Josh Boyer to remove this old driver from the Fedora build[2].

I personally doubt that there are any installations left > running on (E)ISA or VLB. But we should be clear on this. Is the Kconfig text for the "new" driver wrong then? It says: - config SCSI_AIC7XXX tristate "Adaptec AIC7xxx Fast -> U160 support (New Driver)" depends on (PCI || EISA) && SCSI select SCSI_SPI_ATTRS ---help--- This driver supports all of Adaptec's Fast through Ultra 160 PCI based SCSI controllers as well as the aic7770 based EISA and VLB SCSI controllers (the 274x and 284x series). - So, as long as you'd enabled either of PCI or EISA, a VLB card should work too. (Of course you are correct in doubting that anyone is genuinely using a 486 VLB system with ~16MB RAM, so it is largely a moot point.) [I probably could delete that "(New Driver)" text as part of this commit too].

[PATCH] scsi: delete decade+ obsolete aic7xxx_old driver
After getting warnings in an allyesconfig build[1] from this driver, I decided to remind myself just how old it was, and whether it warranted fixing. In the Kconfig help text, I found: "This driver will eventually be phased out entirely" Going back to the history archive, I see the line was added[2] in Feb 2002, when we moved from v2.4.2.1 ---> v2.4.2.2 So, with over a decade of notification, and multiple major releases since then, I think we can justify removing this. Currently we have people wasting time building it during routine testing, and then wasting more time re-researching the known reported warnings, only to find that nobody really is willing to integrate the fixes[3] for it. A quick search didn't seem to indicate any active user base for it. If someone happens to have a quirky _old_ card that the eleven year old "new" driver doesn't work with, then it is entirely reasonable that they stick with a kernel version that predates this removal.
