HighPoint HPT372/374 full support?

HighPoint HPT372/374 full support?

[Jaanus Toomsalu]

HI!

Is there any hints to get this UDMA133 chip to work. Currently it seems to 
reported work over WIP (WorkInProgress), but on my onboard ABIT KR7A-RAID i 
get DMA disabled message and all hardisks on HPT372 IDE channel are "lost" 
after that.

Kernel is 2.4.19-pre3

PS. Hints like "Download binary linux drivers from HighPoint homepage" are 
not hints for me :P

I have the same problem here, but just when I try to use md to setup a
disk array. In fact, I can dd to /dev/null two disks at the same time
(each on its separate controller) without any troubles (each disk
through output is 40 MB/s). Software raid with hptraid works fine but
I don't get significant performance improvement. But each time I try
to use md, I always get the same problem than you. mkraid, raidstop or
anything which access /dev/md0 triggers a DMA problem.

I have asked the question in linux-raid mailing list yesterday but got
no solution so far.

I have upgraded to newest BIOS patched with the latest BIOS from
Highpoint (2.31) and there is no change (but I think the BIOS is not
used). I have tried with a vanilla 2.4.18 and with 2.4.19-pre3-ac1.

I have a client paying for the development of that driver addition which
will be GPLed when stable.  This is the same issue we are both seeing when
attached to VIA cores.
