I set the kernel options mentioned but:
smp support must remain enabled cause I'm using a dual cpu system.
> recompile your kernel with support for HPT 370/370A disabled
the only option I find is: Support for IDE RAID Controllers -> HPT
370/370A Software raid.
so I disabled this one.
copied the module to:
/lib/modules/2.4.18/kernel/drivers/ide
> update your initrd file to call this module at startup, prior to

I've done this and set the hpt37x2 module to be loaded first
then updated /etc/lilo.conf
-
lba32
boot=/dev/hda
root=/dev/hda2
initrd=/boot/ataraid.rd
install=/boot/boot.b
map=/boot/map
compact
delay=20
prompt
timeout=100
vga=normal
image=/vmlinuz.beta
label=Linux.beta
append="ramdisk_size=8192"
image=/vmlinuz
label=Linux
append="ramdisk_size=8192"
-
(executed lilo as well :D )
but :
on booting nothing happens...
hpt37x2 module doesn't get loaded
just a normal boot an the drives again get detected as hde, hdg :(

Betreff: Re: AW: HPT370 & lost interrupt
Little more time now: I notice the HPT website does not include files
for
Debian but process should be similar to the others. I use SuSE, so
things
went a little easier. If you will download any of the zipped files, eg,
SuSE_v13_370_372.zip, the file will include a pretty good installation
manual
including options for new install and update. Primary things to attend
to:
recompile your kernel with support for HPT 370/370A disabled, copy
hpt37x2.0
module to /lib/modules/xxxx directory where other startup modules
reside, and
update your initrd file to call this module at startup, prior to loading
kernel. Messages should then id your drive as a SCSI drive since the
driver
emulates a scsi drive. Then all should be well.
The one concern I have is the creation of an initial start-up disk:
will
have to have a valid kernel with HPT stuff disabled and initrd with hpt
module to allow recognition of the system. I believe there are
directions
for this in the manual in the .zip file. Good luck. Richard
