The HPT374 has been supported for quite some time (it even is on 
-stable), however Highpoint added RAID5 to thier software RAID engine 
sometime back, and that I do not support yet. When/if this will happend 
depends alot on what goings to happen with geom/vinum/raidframe/ataraid,
I'd very much like to not have to code RAID5 support in ataraid, but to 
use some generic code that should have been in the system for this. 
However I dont see this happening anytime soon, and I'm getting more and 
more requests for this for HPT and Promise products, so it might be time 
for me to look for parties interested enough in this to make me have 
time to do it...
