aic7Yxx drivers have been maintained very badly in the _kernel_ .
Outside, Adaptec people has their own tree.
You can get the latest ADAPTEC patches from:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?a=108731197000012&r=5&w=2
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?a=108731197000012&r=4&w=2
under the subject "patch XX/28] Sync up drivers/scsi/aic7xxx".
But maybe, there are newer patches inside Adaptec,
ask it to Luben Tuikov <luben_tuikov@adaptec.com>
This is a _very critical_ driver and I hope someone take it back to life again.
