I am running it with 2.6.9 (and 2.6.8.1 before that). I do apply a couple of
patches to the driver though. I got them from this page:

  <http://www.gulu.net/krd/hpt_rocketraid404_linux.html>

and they work just fine.

Yeah, I heard the same thing and got the same errors when I tried to build
it anyway.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

    [PATCH] remove abort,reset methods from host templates

    Due to the prototype changes they'd been giving warnings since before
    2.6.0 was release, it's time to finally kill them.

It looks like the kernel maintainers removed part of the SCSI interface that
was never used. 

I did a quick patch of the file hpttempl.h from the 2.12 version of the
HighPoint driver where these fields are references and it seems to build
cleanly.

However, I am not included to run with this change myself as I would rather
wait for the all clear from the HighPoint folks when it comes to a device
driver that could trash my entire disk.

If you want to live on the end, drop me an email and I'll send you the patch
file for this change.
