Hi Alan!
do you know that there is a source code of driver for HPT370 raid at the
manufacturer web?
http://www.highpoint-tech.com/370drivers_down.htm
http://www.highpoint-tech.com/hpt3xx-opensource-v13.tgz
Maybe that this can be added to the kernel, there are many motherboards on the
market with such controller onboard. Is there any poblem with this driver?
As I know, hpt370 is supported only in IDE mode by kernel 2.4.18.
With regards,
Petr

It's a binary only driver with some glue code.... not open source.

and in raid0 mode by hptraid

Highpoint have a strange concept of 'opensource'.
(davej@halogen:davej)$ tar zxvf hpt3xx-opensource-v13.tgz
rules.mak
Makefile
hpt.c
hptkern.h
hptglb.h

The header files are good. They show the structure of the raid signature
and some info about the event logs. They could be reused by the linux
module, however I do not know if the copyright is a problem there. Does
anyone know...?
Bye,

Oops! You are right. Most of the structures are for internal driver
stuff. The only useful thing might be the magic numbers and maybe the
ErrorLog struct, but no raid-signature. :(
