Re: [Sheflug] Highpoint RocketRAID 133 card

[Gary Stimson <gary [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've been away for a few days and dealt with my email by skim-reading and 
merry use of the delete key, so sorry if this thread has ended.

I'm using a Highpoint RocketRaid 404 card, which uses the next chip up from 
the 133 card. The highpoint chipsets only give you extra IDE channels. All 
of the RAID stuff is done in software. The Highpoint Linux drivers on their 
web site are semi-proprietary rubbish. However, Linux has some other 
support for the chipset (the Redhat 9.0 install recognised the highpoint 
chips OK).

Don't bother with Highpoint's own drivers. Instead use the linux drivers. 
You'll then have some extra IDE channels. I'm using Linux's own software 
RAID with these and it's working fine.
