Well, i just tried the 2.2.18-ide kernel and detects the HPT370 chip as well, so i guess we should look elsewhere for the casue of failure. I don't see how that follows, since the latest release version of boot-floppies uses the 2.2.18pre21-ide kernel. Can you try with that kernel and see if it also detects the controller? Soryy, i should read my email before i send it, the first time i tried it with 2.2.17-ide and 2.2.18-ide, both worked, then i went back and tried 2.2.18pre21-ide and that also detected the HPT370.

I remember about 6 months ago i did hear of problems with the HPT366 and some samsung(i think) drives... apart from that i have no idea.

To install debian potato on an abit kt7-raid motherboard: (well, this is what I roughly did) 1 Connect your disk to the first ide controller, not to the HTP370 controller 2 I used the debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/ 2.2.20.0.1-2000-12-03/images-1.44/idepci disk set 3 boot and install as usual 4 download and unpack kernel/v2.2/linux-2.2.18.tar.gz 5 download and apply patch kernel/people/hedrick/ ide.2.2.18.1209.patch.gz 6 make menuconfig - Block devices: [*]Generic PCI IDE chipset support ... [*] HPT366 chipset support Don't know about theese two but they seem to work for me [*]HPT366 Fast Interrupt support (WIP) [*]HPT366 mode three unsupported (WIP) (Note! this driver has no raid support, you just get the udma100 support and two more controllers, only connect discs to hpt controller) and whatever else you want in the kernel 7 make dep; make bzImage; make modules; make modules_install 8 cp arch/.../bzImage System.map to /boot 9 add new image to lilo.conf with root=/dev/hdexx instead of hda 10 run lilo 11 change hda to hde in /etc/fstab 12 shutdown -h now 13 poweroff 14 move disk cable to first HPT370 connector 15 boot Regards, /Karl --- Karl HammarAspö Data [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lilla Aspö 2340 +46 173 140 57Networks S-742 94 Östhammar +46 70 511 97 84 Computers Sweden Consulting --- -- From: "Alexander Sawallich" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: UDMA66 boot problem/HPT370 Date: Tue, 12 Dec 2000 21:46:46 +0100 When I try installing Debian 2.2r2 on my HPT370 Raid/UDMA100 controller, with the UDMA66 boot floppies, the system halts during the boot process. ... ...

So I'll be interested to see the solution if/when you get one. Regards I read up the HPT370 today, its supposed to be supported in the 2.2 kernel series (post 2.2.16 i think). It should be handled by the hpt366 driver, which is supported by the udma66 flavour, you could check the version of the kernel included in the boot-floppies you used, or try the latest release.
