HighPoint RocketRaid 1640 on Fedora16
 
I have this RAID controller and I need to use them with fedora 16. Now fedora is using driver 'pata_hpt37x', I dont think it's the right driver so I went to HighPoint site and downloaded the opensource driver but it was meant to 2.4, 2.6 kernels.

My question is simply, can I use this source to compile the driver for kernel 3.1, which Fedora 16 has after update? If I can is there any general rules to port sources from 2.6 to 3.1. Keep in mind my that my knowledge in compiling kernel modules is almost 0.


This is what I got when I tried to compile it:
Code:
[root@fedora16-eplab opensource_driver]# make KERNELDIR=/usr/src/kernels/3.1.1-1.fc16.x86_64/
gcc -DDRIVER_VERSION=\"2.14\" -DLIST_H_INCLUDED -DMODVERSIONS -DMODULE -DLINUX -D_LINUX_ -D__KERNEL__=1 -DCONFIG_PCI -DRR154X -DHPT3XX_SATA_RESET -DNO_CROSS_CTRL=0 -DSUPPORT_ARRAY -DSUPPORT_OLD_ARRAY -DDBG=0 -Wall -O2 -Wstrict-prototypes -fomit-frame-pointer -I. -I/usr/src/kernels/3.1.1-1.fc16.x86_64//include -I/usr/src/kernels/3.1.1-1.fc16.x86_64//drivers/scsi -mcmodel=kernel -c hpt.c -o hpt.o

                from /usr/src/kernels/3.1.1-1.fc16.x86_64//include/linux/sched.h:55,
                from hpt.c:8:

compilation terminated.
make: *** [hpt.o] Error 1
[root@fedora16-eplab opensource_driver]#

Then I did:
Code:
export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/src/kernels/3.1.1-1.fc16.x86_64/arch/x86/include
And make again, and I got:

Any help, please?

EDIT: This is the link of the drivers page: http://www.highpoint-tech.cn/BIOS_Dr...age/rr1640.htm

I forgot to mention that I have set up the controller with its BIOS utilty for RADI 1 configuration and it seems to be working but I am not sure as I never used RAID in the past. Is there any test I can run to test if it's running even while using pata_hpt37x driver.

The output of 'lsblk' is:

You may not be aware of this but when you post to your own thread most of us think someone is working on it with you.

Why don't you think that the stock driver is right?

Why don't you try centos or scientific. I think they'd have better support for real hardware raid. Opensuse would too.

It is not easy to compile over kernel unless you either know what tools were used and if they can be down leveled to this F16 system. Compiling over kernel versions would be maybe a bit easier if you built your own kernel. Dunno what is in the current one. Might just remove the one you suspect is bad too and then work on this.

To test a raid you should break it. What kid of array did you make in scsi bios?
