Roberto, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc1

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  pci ATA raid controller problem (KERNEL BUG?)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hi,
  I am using a linux box with kubuntu 11.04 :

  lsb_release -rd
  Description:    Ubuntu 11.04
  Release:        11.04

  and I have an ITE8212 raid (0,1,10) pci card in my linux box, It should work fine with pata_it821x module, because I know it's supported (tested on http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/).
  However it doesn't work because I can't see my raid disk, as you can see from dmesg output :

  dmesg | grep ata

  It said "ata5.00: NODEV after polling detection".

  I have 4 PATA HD, everyone is about 512 GB connected to the pci card,
  just for curiosity I changed them with my very old hds (10GB), and it
  works very fine:

  I tryed some different kernels (also 3.0 from ppa repositories), I tryed also other linux distro (suse and fedora), I tryed also widnows XP! (all works), I think that the problem is in the kernel driver "pata_it821x" something like a "buffer overflow" maybe it's old and there isn't at that age HD big like ~1 TB (2 ~512 gb hd in strip configuration is like it at maximum)...
  For me it's strange that it works fine with small HD and don't work with big ones, another strange thing is that dmesg message read the worng raid value, for example raid 1 when it is raid 0 and so on... it is reading like i+1

  I would like to make a kernel bug report but the web site is still
  down, so I am writing here, hope al my info are usefull to developers
