You have your ICH7 configured to IDE-compatible mode, and there is
apparently driver problems with it. Try setting it to ACHI mode. ICH7
ids was added by Soren but not tested. It would be very appreciated if
you can test both configurations and attach complete verbose dmesgs to
sos@ and current at .

If you disable the ITE controller in BIOS setting then OS will not be
able to find it. Enable it and try agin to see if 'pciconf -lv' can
find any unknown device. IT8212F (RAID ver) is supported, but not
IT8211 (non-RAID). From the spec of similar model P5LD2 it seemed to
be an IT8211. However as far as I know the only difference in between
to the driver is PCI device id, since the driver does not use its hw
RAID function. If you are able to compile and test the kernel/driver
w/ patches it would be better.
