Here's what I did. Download the hptr100 driver from the Highpoint support website: http://www.highpoint-tech.com/BIOS%20+%20Driver/hpt370/Linux/hpt3xx-opensource-v2.0.tgz Warning, this is not a well built tar file, extract it in an empty directory, or be forced to clean up the mess. Read the readme.txt and compile the driver. You'll need support for scsi hard drives in your kernel (included or as a mod). You will also have to disable the hpt34x and hpt366 drivers in the kernel, or add a "hdx=noprobe" to your grub/lilo configs for each of the drives attached to the card. Once everything is done, you can do a "insmod ./hptr100.o" or "insmod ./hptr100.ko" depending on your kernel and the driver will be loaded. Then just mount the drives as scsi drives (sda1 instead of hda1). If you don't know what the drives will be, check /proc/partitions for the available list. I have mine set up to run a script at boot to load the driver and mount the drives. This makes it easy to take out in case I'm doing stuff to my kernel or working on new ones. You probably don't need the KVER lines below, but I'll keep it in just for fun. #!/bin/bash KVER=`grep -o "[^ ]*smp" /proc/version` insmod "/lib/modules/$KVER/extra/hptr100.ko" #insmod /usr/src/r100/hptr100.ko mount /dev/sda1 /archives/dvds1 mount /dev/sdb1 /archives/dvds2 I admit I haven't done anything with RAID setups with this card, but I'm assuming that now that you have access to the block devices (sda, sdb, etc...) you can handle all the RAID/LVM stuff from there and it should be pretty simple. Hope this helps
