Linux & HPT-374 Controller

[johnqpublic]

Hi folks,
Have not been here in awhile so sorry! Question, does the 2.4.20 Kernel have support for the Highpoint-Tech 374 controller? Reason I'm asking is I upgraded all my boxes with Abit It7-MAX2 and AT7-MAX2 Boards bout a Month ago. I am asking this as I do not have time to check Kernel.org cuz I work 7 days a week and am posting on Company Time!

Thanks,
johnq

I don't know about the 2.4.20, but I checked my 2.4.21, and it supports the:

HPT366 is an Ultra DMA chipset for ATA-66.
HPT368 is an Ultra DMA chipset for ATA-66 RAID Based.
HPT370 is an Ultra DMA chipset for ATA-100.
HPT372 is an Ultra DMA chipset for ATA-133.
HPT374 is an Ultra DMA chipset for ATA-133.

I believe HPT stands for Hightpoint-Tech yes?

Hello!

im new with Linux and have this problem.

I want to use the hpt 374 with suse 9 but highpoint tells me to compile it on my own.

Now how do i do this, or have you done it and can tell me how to get the shit working?

thx ais

well, i am not sure, since i haven't ever used HPT-374, but it looks like you need to recompile a kernel and add support for it.

you can always just make a module.
Whats the website that tells you to do this. i might give it a go
