It's partially working with 2.4.20-rc2-ac1. Linux detects the HPT 372
controllers /from time to time/.

First (re)boot:

So he did find the first two controllers.
I rebooted the machine after about 3 minutes to attach the drives to
ide2, but Linux didn't find the controllers.

So I removed the drives again, but the controllers are still undetected.
(Same dmesg excerpt as above)

I'm confused :-/
