It wount compile in 2.6.1, Use the Linux native driver for hpt374. It works fine for me with 2.6.0.

The Highpoint driver is one of the ugliest pieces of code I've seen. I'm surprised it works at all. Don't go near it if you wish to keep your sanity. There have been scattered reports of trouble with the hpt374 chip lately, so maybe I have been lucky. I'd still suggest that you give it a try. -- Måns Rullgård mru@kth.se
