^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Since this kernel, my Iwill XP333r w/hpt372 onboard controller at
least boots. Before that, having the controller enabled caused a kernel panic.
As recently as -21mdk, I have been able to access, format, download a clean
iso to and burn good disks from a Seagate on that controller after building the
driver in the 'opensource' tarball from highpoint:
http://www.highpoint-tech.com/ I have not tried raid.
It entails a small edit of the kernel source, building the kernel, building the
driver, moving it to /lib/modules/..., running depmod -a, loading with
/etc/modules. The driver source code is provided but a binary library is part
of the tarball, so it is not really open source and the kernel taint message is
given.
