Hi all,
Yesterday i was tinkering with my xpenology because my wifi didn't work (still doesn't work btw).
Anyway i had a Highpoint rocketraid 620 laying around doing nothing, so tried it in the xpenology machine and lo and behold it didn't work.
Well to make a long story short i found this website:https://blog.hqcodeshop.fi/archives/266-HighPoint-RocketRAID-620-Linux-driver.html and searched for some information about cross-compiling, and what do you know, it seems to work with dsm 5.2-5565.
You can download the .ko file right here -->http://1drv.ms/1NOtZTi, i also cross-compiled the modules for the 64x and 27x0 series card just for fun(didn't test them).
dsemg output:

Don't execly know what "failed to hard reset" and "failed to perform port hard reset" is all about.
At this point i can't get it to load at boot. So for now its not practical but at least its a start.
