BTW, I have the exact same setup with some exceptions:

-- I use 4 SATA hard drives on my RocketRAID controller. (Same as yours)
and yes.... It is normal for the HPT366 module to load.  And yes, it is
normal for 2 instances of this to load (1 for channels 1&2 and the 2nd
for 3&4)

-- I use a regular ATA hard drive to boot from 80GB Maxtor (grub&os) and
use EXT3 on this drive, the other hard drives use REISERFS (2 SATA
Maxtors and 2 SATA Western Digital)

-- I use Dapper and that's why it still works, because my regular OS
recognizes the 1st hard drive as HDA, my CDROM as HDC and my SATA's as
HDE,HDG,HDK,HDI respectively. Gutsy would break this setup and I hope
they fix it by Hardy!  This is a "Mission Critical" box and I won't
update it in a random fasion (I will dual boot or replace the primary
hard drive on the regular IDE bus to check)

-- The above setting/recompile of the kernel should fix this.  I would
even consider raising this number. What harm would 12 be?  Since all
drives are SDA/SDxxx anymore.\

-- This may be a bug with some 'new' 374 trickery in gutsy, which this
may not work?  I know I use the same card as you in Dapper there's no
reference to 374 at all, only 366.

-- If you use the above fix, lock (PIN in Debian terms) your kernel so
it doesn't get updated!!! Or it will re-break your system on an update,
unless they change/fix this by default.

-- They should change this by default.

-- If this doesn't help, please tell me, I am as interested in this
problem as you.

It's not the easiest thing to recompile the kernel.  And most
debian/ubuntu instructions work using 'kpkg' not make/make install
should work and should update the grub menu.  The thing is pointing to
the proper kernel image and initrd image in the grub menu.  It could be
tricky, just remember, you don't need to do the menuconfig or xconfig
step, just edit the config.sys file, copy it to your usr/src dir and
make sure it's used in your compile instructions (Which I believe needs
a good symlink named 'linux' pointed to the the kernel source (All in
/usr/src BTW)

Hope this helps.
