The instructions in the above link are 
for the 2.4, 2.6, 3.0 kernel versions.
I think you would have to replace 3.0 for 3.2 in
each case or add it if you intend to use the 3.2 kernel version.
See below for an example starting @ </start_copy&edit>

        Dowload the open source driver form the HighPoint website (cur ver. 1.3) http://www.highpoint-tech.cn/BIOS_Dr...03-0910.tar.gz
        Extract the driver to your home directory
        Open the Makefile.def located in the /inc/linux folder
        Replace the following:

        This
        Code:

        KERNEL_VER := 2.$(shell expr `grep LINUX_VERSION_CODE $(KERNELDIR)/include/linux/version.h | cut -d\  -f3` / 256 % 256)

        With
        Code:

        KERNEL_VER := $(shell uname -r | cut -f1-2 -d.)

        This
        Code:

        ifneq ($(KERNEL_VER), 2.6)

        ifneq ($(KERNEL_VER), 2.4)

        $(error Only kernel 2.4/2.6 is supported but you use $(KERNEL_VER))

        endif

        endif

        With

        Code:

        ifneq ($(KERNEL_VER), 3.2)
        ifneq ($(KERNEL_VER), 3.0)
	ifneq ($(KERNEL_VER), 2.6)
        ifneq ($(KERNEL_VER), 2.4)
        $(error Only kernel 2.4/2.6/3.0/3.2 is supported but you use $(KERNEL_VER))
        endif
        endif
        endif
	endif

        This

        Code:

        ifeq ($(KERNEL_VER), 2.6)

        With

        Code:

        ifeq ($(KERNEL_VER), $(filter $(KERNEL_VER),3.2 3.0 2.6))

        Save the file.
        Open os_linux.h and remove the linux/config.h include statement
        Open os_linux.c file and change the follwing

        From
        Code:

        blkdev_get(bdev, FMODE_READ)

        To
        Code:

        blkdev_get(bdev, FMODE_READ, NULL)

        Save.
        Open osm_linux.c and change the following:

        From

        Code:

        static int hpt_queuecommand (Scsi_Cmnd * SCpnt, void (*done) (Scsi_Cmnd *))

        to

        Code:

        static int hpt_queuecommand_lck (Scsi_Cmnd * SCpnt, void (*done) (Scsi_Cmnd *))

        Before the hpt_reset method, insert the lines below:
        Code:

        #ifdef DEF_SCSI_QCMD
        DEF_SCSI_QCMD(hpt_queuecommand)
        #else
        #define hpt_queuecommand hpt_queuecommand_lck
        #endif

        Save.
        Open install.sh and change section below from:

        Code:

        case ${KERNEL_VER} in
        	2.4 )
        	OBJ=o
        	MODVER=`modinfo -f%{kernel_version} ${PWD}/${TARGETNAME}.${OBJ}`
        	;;
        	2.6 )
        	OBJ=ko
        	MODVER=`modinfo -F vermagic ${PWD}/${TARGETNAME}.${OBJ} | cut -d' ' -f1`
        	;;
        esac

        to

        Code:

        case ${KERNEL_VER} in
        	2.4 )
        	OBJ=o
        	MODVER=`modinfo -f%{kernel_version} ${PWD}/${TARGETNAME}.${OBJ}`
        	;;
        	2.6 )
        	OBJ=ko
        	MODVER=`modinfo -F vermagic ${PWD}/${TARGETNAME}.${OBJ} | cut -d' ' -f1`
        	;;
        	3.0 )
        	OBJ=ko
        	MODVER=`modinfo -F vermagic ${PWD}/${TARGETNAME}.${OBJ} | cut -d' ' -f1`
        	;;
		3.2 )
        	OBJ=ko
        	MODVER=`modinfo -F vermagic ${PWD}/${TARGETNAME}.${OBJ} | cut -d' ' -f1`
        	;;
        esac



    The driver should compile and install properly after that.


    I know that some of these things could be automated with a patch program, 
    but i have no clue how to do it. if anyone is willing to tackle it, 
    or help me write it, please send me an e-mail.


    Hope this helps other people.
