Hi,
I've been putting off posting to this mailing list, because i really
didn't want to bother all you busy kernel development type peoples :),
but after searching for about a week, i am no closer to the answer -
maybe the author of the driver can help me, or something.
Using the above raid controller, which is onboard the Abit KX7-333R
motherboard.
Using a single HDD to test it with, the HDD in question works fine using
the VIA IDE controller on the same board.
If this matters, i don't actually want RAID, i am just using it as
another IDE controller.
I'm using the 2.4.20 kernel, and i thought this controller had been
supported since 2.4.18. I'll include the relevant part of my current
.config below.
Here is what happens when i try to boot it up with the drive attatched:
(roughly)
HPT372: ide controller, PCI bus 00 dev 98
HPT372: chipset rev 5
HPT372: not 100% naitive mode, will probe irqs later.
Everything seems normal... then:
hde: dma_intr: status=0xff { busy }
hde: dma disabled
supurious 8259A interrupt
I don't know if the last line is related, but i don't think it was there
before...
ide2: reset timed out
hde: status timeout: status=0xff { busy }
hde: drive not ready for command
ide2: reset timed out, status 0xff {busy }
end_request: I/O error, dev 21:02 (hde) sector 8264
kjournald starting blah blah
end_request: I/O error, dev 21:02 (hde) sector 8264
EXT3 FS mounted readonly blah blah
end_request: I/O error, dev 21:02 (hde) sector 8264
Then it complains about not being able to find an init, etc.

I've tried setting various different options - such as enabling RAID,
but that shouldn't matter if i just want to use the controller to add
more disks.
But the above is what i believe should be working...
Any ideas?
And apologies if i am posting to the wrong list for this kind of stuff.
Regards,
- Daniel
