1. Overview
———————
This package contains Linux driver source code for HighPoint
HPT374 UDMA/ATA133 RAID controller and RocketRAID 154x/1640 SATA controller.
NO WARRANTY
THE DRIVER SOURCE CODE HIGHPOINT PROVIDED IS FREE OF CHARGE, AND THERE IS
NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM. THERE ARE NO RESTRICTIONS ON THE USE OF THIS
FREE SOURCE CODE. HIGHPOINT DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY TECHNICAL SUPPORT IF THE
CODE HAS BEEN CHANGED FROM ORIGINAL SOURCE CODE.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
IN NO EVENT WILL HIGHPOINT BE LIABLE FOR DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR
INABILITY TO USE THIS PRODUCT OR DOCUMENTATION, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN PARTICULAR, HIGHPOINT SHALL NOT HAVE
LIABILITY FOR ANY HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, OR DATA STORED USED WITH THE
PRODUCT, INCLUDING THE COSTS OF REPAIRING, REPLACING, OR RECOVERING
SUCH HARDWARE, OR DATA.
2. Build the driver
———————
1) Install kernel source package and building tools.
You shall use same configuration for the kernel and the driver.
Otherwise the driver may be unable to load or work abnormally.
If you are using stock kernel, obtain the configuration in your Linux
distribution (e.g. the kernel configuration file for Red Hat stock kernel
can be found under “configs” directory in kernel source tree). Copy the
configuration file to
kernel headers using “make oldconfig” and “make dep”(not necessary in the
2.6 kernel) commands before you build the driver.
Please refer to the documents in your Linux distribution for kernel
configuration.
If the kernel contains built-in IDE support for HPT374 controller,
you must disable the kernel support before using this driver. You can
either rebuild a kernel without HPT374 support, or use boot parameters
like “hdx=noprobe” to disable the built-in driver.
2) Extract the driver files to somewhere.
3) Build the driver (example):
# make KERNELDIR=/usr/src/linux-2.6.9-5
Available make options:
RR154X=0
Build driver for HPT374 PATA controller instead of SATA controller.
NON_RAID=1
Build driver without RAID support.
CROSS_CTRL=1
Enable cross-controller RAID (need controller BIOS support).
3. Using the driver
———————
1) Load module “scsi_mod” and “sd_mod” if they are not built into kernel:
# modprobe sd_mod
2) Load the driver.
# insmod ./hpt374.o
For kernel 2.6, the driver module is “hpt374.ko”. Also you need to use
the 2.5/2.6 module-init-tools (you can get them from
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rusty/modules/).
modutils from 2.4 won’t work with 2.5/2.6.
