I've had a Highpoint Rocket 1540 (not "RocketRAID") SATA controller for a while now, using a proprietary binary driver from Highpoint in a linux 2.4 kernel. The chipset is an hpt374. The hpt366 driver freezes on boot, as reported by others.
Can we see a bootlog please?
... and the output of 'lspci -v' too.
If possible, turn off that driver, then post that output...
This is the output of the boot using the pata_hpt37x driver:
Hrm... what I asked for was 'lspci -v' output. :-)
lspci gives:

Too bad, this is the standard HPT subsystem ID of 0x0001... So, nothing comes to my mind other than add a module parameter to hpt366.c to specify that we're using the crippled SATA bridge... well, maybe it would also make sense to scan the BIOS for the signatures...
