The "Integrated Technology Express, Inc. IT/ITE8212 Dual channel ATA
RAID controller" and a missing driver in the current kernel is
responsible for that problem.

I've found a GPL ITE8212 driver at
ftp://ftp.asus.de/pub/ASUSCOM/TREIBER/CONTROLLER/IDE/ITE/ITE8212.zip

The driver is compiling and working up to kernel 2.6.9.
With newer kernel versions I get following error while compiling:

# make

SUBDIRS=/usr/src/linux-2.6.12rc6-git6/drivers/scsi modules

Because of the driver is published under GPL could you please adapt this
to newer kernel versions and include it in the next kernel 2.6.12?
