ITE8212 chipset?

I believe that that is supported directly in the more-recent kernels.
2.6.13 and later.

I humbly suggest that you don't use the on-board RAID; just the
interfaces and employ a software raid (md) instead. That means that
when the motherboard dies, you can take the drives and plug them
into another system and be able to read them as before.
