Install Highpoint 2720 on Ubuntu 10.10

Asked by TBE

Hello I tried first to install first the highpoint open source driver and then followed i guid on the internet " http://www.adammooz.com/2010/09/08/rocket-raid-drivers-for-ubuntu-10-2-6-32/ "
I have no luck to get it working and I tried to get support on Highpoint but it only replayed with "Dear Customer
Please,Go to our official website to download the appropriate driver."

I use ubuntu 10.10 and windows 7 in the windows the Highpoint RocketRAID 2720 is working.

Can I get some support on this problem?

I tred the guide and "Compile and install the driver: #sudo make ARCH=x86_64 && make install" get write denied then I write #sudo make ARCH=x86_64 && sudo make install
When I tried to boot modprobe then the screen freeze and I get many colors on the screen.

Can you paste the output of the above command in the pastebin (http://paste.ubuntu.com) and show us the link? Also did you try the readme.txt file inside the driver's package?

Here is the code I get från "#sudo make ARCH=x86_64 && make install" and overall code

http://paste.ubuntu.com/553709/

The next code is only efter "#sudo make ARCH=x86_64 && sudo make install" because I use same kommand efter I write "#sudo make ARCH=x86_64 && make install" because it denied permission to wirte.

NOTE sorry about the name on the first pastbin link

Compiling your own kernel can be both an enlightening and frustrating experience. If all you want is a working driver then stick with the current kernel. If on the other hand want to see/learn how to compile a custom kernel on Ubuntu then read carefully(!!!) the following guide:
