Ok, that might be one reason why it's working for you but not for me.
If I've understood correctly, people who have problems with HPT374
are using the integrated Parallel-ATA interface instead of SATA.

I'd be really interested to hear if anyone has a working system
with kernel included drivers & HPT374-controller integrated in
motherboard and using PATA-drives ?
