It refers to kernel 2.6.0 beta 5.
I downloaded it, extracted it in ~/linux-2.6.0, and:
~ %% cd linux-2.6.0/
~/linux-2.6.0 %% grep -lri Highpoint .
} one minute and 41 seconds later (my system is slow)...
./drivers/ide/pci/hpt34x.c
./drivers/ide/pci/hpt366.c
./drivers/ide/pci/hpt366.h
~/linux-2.6.0 %%
Looking in drivers/ide/pci/hpt34x.c, I find this:
static char *chipset_names[] = {"HPT343", "HPT345"};
and:
MODULE_DESCRIPTION("PCI driver module for Highpoint 34x IDE");
In drivers/ide/pci/hpt366.c:
char *chipset_nums[] = {"366", "366", "368",
"370", "370A", "372",
"302", "371", "374" };
^^^^^
Looks like HPT302 support.
