Excuse me for coming late to this bug, I've only recently gotten around to Gutsy.

Forum thread on this bug: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=431781&highlight=raid

This will affect anyone who has a Gigabyte motherboard (GA-7N400 Pro2 (Rev 2.x) in my case) with the GigaRAID feature. Is this chip common in other vendors to provide PATA RAID?

Is there a plan/timeline from the kernel team as to the former working (it821x) module being backported into the stock kernel or if the non-working experimental (pata_it821x) module has recently been fixed and included an upcoming/recent kernel? As it stands I can not install Feisty or Gutsy from the CD.

Oddly - this chip (IT8212) had worked fine in the 6.x series while my SATA controller (a SIL 3512) did not function [in RAID mode]. In the 7.x series the situation has reversed, the SATA RAID is recognised while the PATA RAID is not. The Tao of Linux ;-)
