Is CentOS 4.1 an option? I'm not sure if the ICH7R is supported in the newer 2.6 kernels either, but that might be an option for you if you can't make CentOS 3.X work.
The controller will work in RH/Centos 4. At this time I am bound to RH/Centos 3.
---- I would presume that you could use the method that I employed last month to build the kernel module for the older megaraid controllers to install CentOS 4 on the system.
The outline is fairly simple.
Find a machine that is running the same kernel that the CentOS installer is using. Install the kernel-devel (or in the case of CentOS 3, you probably need the kernel-sources), make the module, put the module on a floppy disk and insmod the module before trying to install.

provides the longer view with a link to the original concept but mind you, these are for CentOS 4
