I can confirm that upgrading to 2.6.24-5.9 does not solve the problem. However, the workaround described by forum user pefdus in this ubuntuforum post works: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4001806&postcount=23

add the following to /etc/modprobe.d/options

options pata_it821x noraid=1

Now, once you have that, recreate the initramfs so that the "setting" is available on the initial boot (before the drives are booted and mounted).

update-initramfs -k all -c -t -v

I assume this is not a fix for the underlying issue (problems with the handling of it8212 cards) but for users with individual disks, not RAIDs, it seems to work.
