Well, let's try a different tack:
If there's someone out there who has the HPT374 chipset (or better yet,
the RocketRoad 404 product) working under 5.X with the built-in kernel
support, could you please let me know which BIOS version you're running?
I'm using 2.12c, although I'm sure I can download and upgrade/downgrade to
a specific version if this may fix the magic number comparision issue.
Also, on Highpoint's web-site, the latest driver set contains kernel load
modules for up to 5.1. When I contacted the vendor, they stated that they
have a 'special arrangement' with the FreeBSD folks. I'm wondering how
often they/we/you update these .ko files, and if there's some way that I
could re-compile this module on my test-box running 5.2.1?
Sorry to draw this out....
