The Highpoint 366 is an Ultra ATA 66 IDE controller, not a SCSI controller.
There is experimental support for the HPT366, but it is beta code and should
be treated accordingly. There is a mini-HOWTO available at,
http://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~b6506063/hpt366/
and the kernel patches are available at,
http://opensource.captech.com/LinuxIDE/
I would not expect to see support for this controller available in Debian or
RedHat until it becomes part of the stable kernel officially, so probably not
until a release based on kernel 2.4.(at least six months to a year from now)
