Highpoint 374 in 2.4, or only in 2.5?

Hi all,
I have a new motherboard arriving Monday (at least it better arrive
then, I paid for the three day shipping), an EPoX 8K5A3+, along with
512MB of Corsair PC3200 Cas2, XMS series. It's a VIA KT333 board, 4
PC2700 DDR slots, 6 PCI, 6 USB 2.0, a standard Via UDMA133 IDE
controller, and a Highpoint 374 controller. Funny thing is, though, I
see the option for "HPT366,368,370" in both 2.4.19 and 2.5.43, but the
help section in 2.4.19 only lists 366,368, and 370, while the help in
2.5.43 lists all the way through 374. Does this mean in order to make
use of my RAID controller I'm going to somehow make the 2.5 series
stable enough until 2.6 is out, or can I just recompile my 2.4.19 kernel
with the Highpoint driver?
Also, has anyone ever had problems with as many as three different types
of IDE controllers in the system? I'm not quite ready to get rid of my
Promise UDMA100 card.
TIA,
Bob Raymond
