There's a difference - shown particularly by the fact that Highpoint release open drivers for the RocketRAID and not the Rocket. Should doesn't necessarily mean does, unfortunately. My reasoning was exactly the same as yours, except it's bitten me where it hurts... > Perfectly good drivers are included with the kernel. And this is where I got bitten. The standard kernel drivers (HPT374 is supported by hpt366.o) in 2.6.5 (and 2.4.something) lock up on boot, during the probe bit I think. Are you using any other module?
