Can you say a bit about your configuration?

- What module(s) do you load? Any parameters?

- What devices do you access the hpt374 through?

- Are you running a RAID, or individual drives?

Any other info (dmesg, contents of ide procdir, etc) would be great
for us to compare.

Very much appreciated!
