Unfortunately, that isn=B4t the case, at least the highpoint support, which I connected in the driver matter, says you need at least their open source driver (which contains some pre-compiled object code, anyway) and build a module from it, even to use just the SATA ports without the hardware raid functionality. So it doesn=B4t work without drivers and changing the kernel (at least that=B4s what Highpoint thinks). Norman. --=20 Norman Schmidt Institut fuer Physikal. u. Theoret. Chemie Dipl.-Chem. Univ.
