Hello,
i recently bought a Tyan Trinity KT400 S2495 mainboard. (more info at
http://www.tyan.com/products/html/trinitykt400.html). It has an
onboard Highpoint RAID controller labelled "Highpoint HPT372N
0236K41N". To my surprise, Kernel 2.4.21-pre5 does not support this
chip. The relevant driver, linux/drivers/ide/pci/hpt366.c, does
support the HPT372, though.
Looking through the Highpoint Web Site, I found a downloadable
opensource driver (at
http://www.highpoint-tech.com/372drivers_down.htm). The revision
history said that starting with v1.31 (21Dec2002), the HPT372N IC is
supported. Great.
I downloaded, compiled and insmod“ed the driver
(http://www.highpoint-tech.com/hpt3xx-opensource-v131.tgz), which
failed. I then checked the PCI IDS and to my very surprise, the PCI ID
from my chip (1103:0009) does not match the one required by the
Highpoint driver.
Doing further research, nobody seems to know anything about the
1103:0009. I finally submitted the description myself to the Linux PCI
ID Repository (http://pciids.sourceforge.net/).
So i changed the highpoint driver to detect the HPT372N on my
motherboard (see diff below) and it finally works.
I don“t like that solution very much, though, because the highpoint
driver uses the scsi subsystem. Looking through highpoints hpt.c file
I could not find very much differences in the way the HPT372N is
accessed from the HPT372-way. Maybe somebody (Andre Hedrick?) could
look through the code and integrate the HPT372N into
linux/drivers/ide/pci/hpt366.c? This feat is regrettably way beyound
my own programming capability.
I still wonder whether the HPT372N really is so new that it is not yet
listed anywhere. (It is even hard to find on the Highpoint Website).
And I wonder what the difference between HPT372N and HPT372 is.
I would love to hear about the current status of that chip. I do not
need the RAID capability, just the extra IDE ports.
Thank you for your time.
Henning
