im not famillar with PATCH_THE_KERNEL and getting the system
to patch it ..do you have the IDE patch? i download it from
www.linux-ide.org.

none of these are related to the Highpoint controller. the option(s)
you want are probably:
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HPT34X is not set
# CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HPT366 is not set
(copied/pasted from my own custom kernel)
the above is not available without the IDE patch, if your
using 2.2 which you appear to be doing

yes..probably because you don't have the IDE patch. or its not
patched correctly. i patch my kernels manually
patch -p0 <patchname
> Any ideas?
see above :)
my current method for installing a kernel:
download source from kernel.org
download openwall patch from openwall.com
download ide patch(if its an ide system) from linux-ide.org
download eepro update(if needed) from sycld.com(sp?)
patch up, run make menuconfig(ive heard about oldconfig but im
tied to menuconfig i like to go over every option to be sure
its what i want everytime).
run make-kpkg clean
run make-kpkg --revision=30:30.0+ow3+ide+eepro binary
(the revision changes of course and the stuff at the end tells
me what patches/modifications i did to the kernel. my latest kernel
filename is pretty big -
kernel-image-2.2.19_36.0+ide+scsi+3ware+reiserfs+firewall+eepro117b+loopback+ow3_i386.deb)
