That is the HPT 366 chip ! grab the patch from kernel mirrors .. /pub/linux/kernel/people/hedrick try to grab the latest that is for kernel 2.3.17 I think it is great and it is stable . I'm running it with my IBM DJNA 370190 ( this drive could only achieved a max buffered disk reads of 17.02 MB/sec only and maybe I shall try out the fireball ka series)
ah... remember that you need the special 40 pin 80 conductor cable or I think the chip set would not turn on the UDMA66 mode
enjoy
