There is experimental support for the HPT366, but it is beta code and should be treated accordingly. There is a mini-HOWTO available at, http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~b6506063/hpt366/ and the kernel patches are available at, http://opensource.captech.com/LinuxIDE/ I would not expect to see support for this controller available in Debian or RedHat until it becomes part of the stable kernel officially, so probably not until a release based on kernel 2.4.(at least six months to a year from now) -- Matt Taggart [EMAIL PROTECTED]
