Hello, I wrote:
Kernel Oops with HighPoint RocketRAID ATA133 aka HPT372A/N since
kernel 2.6
Now tested with kernel 2.6.17-rc4
Kernel is on bootable CD-ROM
Modules are loaded from initrd
This is what I copied from screen:

Please try my latest patches. This one should fix this (and oops
should be gone):
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-ide&m=114677223914159&w=2
all patches applied, but I still get Kernel Oops :-(
some smal difference here:
HPT372A: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:01:0a.0
ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [APC1] enabled at IRQ 16
ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:0a.0[A] -> Link [APC1] -> GSI 16 (level,
high) -> IRQ 18
HPT372A: chipset revision 2
HPT372A: 100% native mode on irq 18
+ HPT37X: no clock data saved by BIOS
+ HPT3xxN detected, FREQ: 124, PLL: 45
+ HPT37xN unknown bus timing [48 4].
Hm, the BIOS seems to behave nastier than expected -- looks like it
reprograms DPLL but doesn't save the initial f_CNT (needed to determine the
PCI clock). Well, I know that it always sets DPLL to 50 MHz, no matter
what's the chip, so will try to work around this... :-/
OTOH, there might be another reason to that: the BIOS saves f_CNT but the
register it uses for this isn't mapped to the PCI config. space, only to the
I/O space (it's undocumented, after all). Andy Shaw's report seems to confirm
this -- his RAID BIOS seems to be modern enough to save the f_CNT but the
driver probably fails to read it (I don't have the full boot log yet).
So, try the attached patch please. Foli, if this won't help, can you tell
what version your HighPoint BIOS is?
