I should probably say I also have the card successfully running under 7.04 using the old it8212 compiled against the kernel headers for the 2.6.20-16 kernel.

This is working alongside the libata drivers (my ubuntu installation runs on another drive which is not connected to the raid card) so recompiling the entire kernel to remove libata wasn't needed.

I've attached a Makefile and a shell script to compile and install the driver. You should 'modprobe -r pata_it821x' first if it's already loaded. The it821x.c driver source code from the 2.6.20-16 ubuntu kernel is included so you don't need to download the entire kernel source if you don't want to. (If you do, you can apt-get the linux-source package and get the kernel/ide/pci/it821x.c file from it).

While this old driver is still working, obviously i'd prefer to be using the newer libata interface once it's working properly.
