Dear NG,
I am running a HP xw 6000 workstation with ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS server.
Kernel version is 2.6.15-28-server #1 SMP.
The machine is running. Everything without the raid-controller is fine.

This is what i have done:
Downloaded the source code
created a directory and changed into it -->
/usr/src/highpoint_1740_sata_rr174x-linux-src-1.02/product/rr174x/linux

i typed "make" and 2 errors occured:
root@carhs1:/usr/src/highpoint_1740_sata_rr174x-linux-src-1.02/product/rr174x/linux#
make

Can anyone please give me a hint? This is a urgent issue!!!

Dear NG,

one step forward 2 steps back.

after discommenting some lines from "/rr174x-linux-src-1.02/osm/linux/os_linux.c" (Line 260 --> 265)
compiling was succesfull.

I can test after compiling with hdparm the speed ( hdparm -tT /dev/sda) 68MB/s.
Unfortunately i only see one harddisc --> reboot could help? No, after reboot no harddisks anymore availiable.

modprobe sd_mod
insmod rr1740.ko
depmod

Don't help anymore.
If i do this:

modprobe sd_mod --> no error
insmod rr1740.ko --> insmod: can't read 'rr1740.ko': No such file or directory
depmod --> no error

dmesg give this:

I can see rr174x - the harddisks are connected at 0.0 and 0.1 --> i know this, because i tested it before.
How can i go on?
