[gentoo-user] Highpoint Rocket HPT302 PATA EIDE controller

[Stroller <stroller@stellar.eclipse.co.uk>]

Hi there,

Has anyone had any joy getting one of these to work under Gentoo, 
please? I bought it on the recommendations of users on 
uk.comp.os.linux, as I was looking for a Linux-compatible card 
available in the UK, but apparently no-one on that group is using the 
card under Gentoo.

Highpoint provide drivers as source; unpacking these & running make 
unfortunately fails on my system, with the following output:

	$ make
	make -C /usr/src/linux SUBDIRS=`pwd` modules
	make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.14-gentoo-r2'

	$

Setting the KERNELDIR variable to 
"/lib/modules/2.6.14-gentoo-r2/build/" doesn't make any difference, not 
does editing the makefile so that drivers/scsi/host.h is included 
instead of hosts.h

A poster on the Gentoo forums indicated that he'd managed to get this 
card working using one of the other Highpoint drivers already in the 
Linux kernel, but that doesn't seem to work for me, as I have enabled 
these and the drive connected to the controller is still not shown. (Is 
there any other way to test whether the controller is working or not?)

$ zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i hpt
# CONFIG_HIGHPTE is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HPT34X=y
# CONFIG_HPT34X_AUTODMA is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HPT366=y

The device is shown on the PCI bus thusly:

	# 0000:00:02.0 RAID bus controller: Triones Technologies, Inc. HPT302 
(rev 02)
	        Subsystem: Triones Technologies, Inc.: Unknown device 0001
	        Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 64
	        I/O ports at 1400 [size=8]
	        I/O ports at 1410 [size=4]
	        I/O ports at 1408 [size=8]
	        I/O ports at 1414 [size=4]
	        I/O ports at 1000 [size=256]
	        Expansion ROM at 50000000 [disabled] [size=128K]
	        Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2

Many thanks in advance for any help or advices. I'm not averse to 
replacing the card if someone can recommend one available in the UK 
with drivers already in the kernel. It doesn't need to do RAID, only 
act as a 133 EIDE controller for the new hard-drive I put in this 
Pentium II server recently.

Stroller.
