Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: - Distribution: Debian Sid Hardware Environment:Amd 3200+, Gigabyte GA-K8NSNXP, with ite 8212 raid chip Software Environment:kernel Problem Description:The module loads, but it does not recognise or initiate the volumes on the drives attached to the raid controller. Steps to reproduce: Attach a RAID (0 or 1) to the ite controller, and boot with a newer kernel (2.6.20 or higher). No drives will be found. However: it does work in non-raid mode; booting with "pata_it821x noraid=1" will show both drives separately.
Last known working: 2.6.18 with the it821x module.
Already fixed in 2.6.24-rc-mm series kernels. Please try 2.6.24-rc-mm series kernels or use the following patch from the -mm tree

very nice, thank you!
I am reopening this bug as it still does not work with the patch or with the -mm kernel. The error message on initialising the ite raid is: "INIT_DEV_PARAMETERS failed (err_mask=0x80)" As I am trying to boot from this device this means it will still not run.
Is it still not working with latest kernel? If so, can you please attach your boot trace and config please.
Works in kernel 2.6.25-rc2
