 Posted: Sun Jun 11, 2006 6:43 am Post subject: HPT RAID error. [SOLVED] |
 |
|
I've got an older DFI LanParty NFII-Ultra board with an HPT RAID controller built on that I'm trying to get to work.
From lspci:
| Code: | | 01:0b.0 RAID bus controller: Triones Technologies, Inc. HPT372A/372N (rev 02) |
The current kernel that I'm using is the Gentoo 2.6.16-r9 kernel. I've downloaded the opensource driver from the highpoint site to compile. I've disabled the in-kernel hpt366 driver since it just has not worked because it just throws a kernel panic. Even the liveCD will throw a kernel panic and I've read elsewhere that it just doesn't seem to work for anyone.
I modified the makefile for this so that it will default build to facilitate PATA RAID. Here is the output from the make:
| Code: | cp -f raid.o raid.obj
make -C /usr/src/linux SUBDIRS="'pwd' modules
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-2.6.16-gentoo-r9'
CC [M] /home/dan/RAID/hpt.o
LD [M] /home/dan/RAID/hpt374.o
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST
CC /home/dan/RAID/hpt374.mod.o
LD [M] /home/dan/RAID/hpt374.ko
make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-2.6.16-gentoo-r9'
|
But, when I do and insmod I get the following error:
| Code: | PartyBoy RAID # insmod ./hpt374.ko
insmod: error inserting './hpt374.ko': -1 No such device
|
Anybody have any idea where to go from here?

NSpacer,
Your raid controller is BIOS or fakeraid. Unless you need to share the raid with Windows, you should use the controller as any other IDE drive controller and use kernel raid.

Well, I was trying that first... But, people had run into similar issues of SERIOUS hanging when compiling hpt366.o into the kernel. And, I'd run across the same as well.
So, I tried compiling it as a module to add after boot... Only it seems to puke pretty hard.
From dmesg :
| Code: | HPT372A: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:01:0b.0

NSpacer,
There is some bad news ... this issue is all over the Linux Kernel Mailing List (lkml) lots of people are having this problem
and there is some good news You need a kernel patch.
Its only a few weeks old. You can look at the change log for the latest -rc kernel to see if its in, if so, try that kernel, or you can apply the patch to the kernel you already have.

Thanks for pointing me to that.
And since WHEN is having YOUR issue all over the Linux Kernel Mailing List BAD news? The more people that scream about it, the faster it gets fixed... Well, usually... And the less likely that the short exists between the keyboard and the chair.
I'm gonna try out mm-sources since it looks like it has been applied there. Then once it makes it into the main kernel and then into gentoo-sources I'll switch back. |
