Hello.
I have a HighPoint RocketRaid 1542 SATA PCI card with a HPT 374 chipset.
I have compiled a custom 2.6.11 kernel in a Debian SID box selecting the
following options:
#
# ATA/ATAPI/MFM/RLL support
#
CONFIG_IDE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y
...
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y
CONFIG_IDEDISK_MULTI_MODE=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=y
...
CONFIG_IDE_GENERIC=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPNP=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y
CONFIG_IDEPCI_SHARE_IRQ=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_OFFBOARD=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_GENERIC=y
...
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA_PCI=y
...
CONFIG_IDEDMA_PCI_AUTO=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HPT34X=y
# CONFIG_HPT34X_AUTODMA is not set
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HPT366=y
...
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX_OLD=y
CONFIG_PDC202XX_BURST=y
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_PDC202XX_NEW=y
CONFIG_PDC202XX_FORCE=y
...
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82CXXX=y
...
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y
CONFIG_IDEDMA_IVB=y
CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y
Connected to the HPT374 there is a ATA/150 Maxtor 6B200M0 hard disk.
In Debian a hdparm -tT /dev/hde shows:
Timing cached reads: 680 MB in 2.01 seconds = 338.36 MB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: 40 MB in 3.07 seconds = 13.03 MB/sec
If a make the test booting from a knoppix 3.7 with kernel 2.4.28 I get
Timing buffered disk reads = 61 MB/sec. If a select the 2.6.10 kernel in
the knoppix boot prompt I get Timing buffered disk reads=41 MB/sec
Why is the HPT374 so slow in my Debian box? I have tried with several
kernels but I have got always the same results (13 MB/sec aprox.)
These are the boot messages related with the HPT374. As you can see the
ATA/150 hard disk (hde) is detected as UDMA(33).

HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Input/output error
Note: this works OK in knoppix but not in Debian.
How can I improve the performance of the HPT374 in Debian?
I have tried the HighPoint driver. With it I get 41 MB/sec but I can't
compile it inside the kernel, only as module and with it the hde is seen
as /dev/sda. With initrd I am able to boot from /dev/sda but I want to
use the open source driver shipped with the kernel (like in the knoppix).
Thanks in advance.
