I have been wondering about HPT37x in Fedora Core (development) kernel called kernel-smp-2.6.7-1.501.i686. It doesn't find one of the cards attached to a HPT372A card that I have.
I tried also to boot with a bit older kernels: 2.6.3, 2.6.5 do work just fine (except of 2.6.5 barfs the keyboard..).
I tried also with 2.6.7-1.494smp (FC devel kernels), and that too does fail. I think I had also some a bit older 2.6.7, also that one failed. I didn't get around to try any 2.6.6 kernels.
Any ideas ? Will this patch help ?
