Do you really need to use that binary driver? http://www.highpoint-tech.com/USA/bios_rr1740.htm -> http://www.highpoint-tech.com/BIOS_Driver/rr1740/Linux/rr174x-linux-src-v2.1-080304-1512.tar.gz they call that "Open Source" ? /tmp/rr174x-linux-src-v2.1/lib/linux/free-i686-regparm0 # ls -la total 212 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 248 Mar 4 08:12 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 208 Mar 4 08:12 .. -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 54923 Mar 4 08:12 him_rr1740pm.o -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 3220 Mar 4 08:12 jbod.o -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 97186 Mar 4 08:12 ldm_raid_compat.o -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 1685 Mar 4 08:12 partition.o -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 3418 Mar 4 08:12 raid0.o -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 5583 Mar 4 08:12 raid1.o -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 39056 Mar 4 08:12 raid5.o I don`t see Open Source. Please ask for a true Open Source driver or buy another controller. Binary drivers doesnŽt fit to Linux kernel development model. See http://www.aquezada.com/staff/julian/journal/?p=156 for example. There seems to be support for that card in sata_mv driver ( http://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/SATA_MV.html ), but i donŽt know if it`s worth a try. * sata_mv.c - Marvell SATA support * * Copyright 2008: Marvell Corporation, all rights reserved. * Copyright 2005: EMC Corporation, all rights reserved. * Copyright 2005 Red Hat, Inc.
