Thanks - since the box isn't that critical I've just fed in the Centos-3
disks again, scrubbed the boot disk and reinstalled the OS - as there were
two processors in situ it has installed the SMP kernel. Once this was done I
just did a 'make' on the IT8212 drivers source code and then
modprobe/insmodded it and it's working fine - the two 160GB disks are
resyncing now.
I understand from some forum posts I found elsewhere that IT8212 drivers
will be/are native to the latest 2.6 kernels so maybe things will be easier
in the future.

I made the discovery on an old test Compaq 3000R 300mHtz box, the LVM
and its compaq raid will not work. I normally do my own drive setup, but
figured I'd just throw 4.0 on this box to find any issues. It made it
through some of the init scripts... I don't remember exactly where, but
I think it crashed when looking for a kernel, which would have been
about Grub time.
Seems some changes have been made to LVM... might be worth a shot if
your doing this.
