It refers to kernel 2.6.0 beta 5. I downloaded it, extracted it in ~/linux-2.6.0, and: ~ %% cd linux-2.6.0/ ~/linux-2.6.0 %% grep -lri Highpoint . } one minute and 41 seconds later (my system is slow)... ./drivers/ide/pci/hpt34x.c ./drivers/ide/pci/hpt366.c ./drivers/ide/pci/hpt366.h ~/linux-2.6.0 %% Looking in drivers/ide/pci/hpt34x.c, I find this: static char *chipset_names[] = {"HPT343", "HPT345"}; and: MODULE_DESCRIPTION("PCI driver module for Highpoint 34x IDE"); In drivers/ide/pci/hpt366.c: char *chipset_nums[] = {"366", "366", "368", "370", "370A", "372", "302", "371", "374" }; ^^^^^ Looks like HPT302 support. -- The world's most effective spam filter: ln -sf /dev/full /var/mail/$USER -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
