You guys with this chipset onboard, please test these drivers and report
problems to itesupport@ite.com.tw .
The drivers are available from the link above as source or binary
drivers.

For me, this driver has some serious issues with a 2.6 kernel on an AMD64
box. I have sent a bug report to itesupport, once I got them to acknowledge

If anyone cares:
Mar 24 08:29:38  kernel: Found Controller: IT8212 UDMA/ATA133 RAID

As a self-followup, ITE released 1.45 a little while back, with much better 
2.6 compatability.  I did a brief stress test (copying around ~50 gig of 
mp3s), and the driver worked just fine, no lockups, no corruption.

Moreover, it appears that the driver might even let a system boot from the 
RAID if the driver is in the initrd.  As an added bonus (to me), when running 
in mirrored mode, you can yank a drive out of the mirror, and use it 
standalone and it just works.  No FS trickery or anything.
