We had a RH 7.3 system that we were using highpoint cards in. That took a while to get working correctly a year ago or so. Moving to Centos we were not able to get them to work correctly so we went with the 3ware 8500 series (one 4 port and one 2 port) and it is working like a charm.
I think the HPT was a rocketraid 1640.
Good luck if you stick it out with the HPT controller.

Dear all,
Anyone have experience using Hight Point Rocketraid 464 on a CentOs 3.3 system? High Point drivers seem to only support a really outdated kernel version and I am having problems getting the system to recognise the raid card (and thus the whole raid).
I'm using one as an extra ide controller with out using raid on the card. I just use software raid instead. I never got it to work in linux. Tried to compile the drivers a few times but they always failed.
