[CentOS] IT8218 PCI IDE RAID CARD

I have big problems with this card not working on Centos 5.5

If I run Parted Magic (kernel 2.6.32.11) from CD, then the 
IT8212F IDE PCI controller is detected OK, and I can access 
the WD hard drive on the controller, in r/w mode.

Running Centos 5.5 I get lots of I/O errors at boot time, 
and cannot get r/w access to the drive from GParted.

Any ideas what's happening, and why Centos 5.5 cannot get 
access to the IDE drive on the IT8212F controller card?

Kind Regards,

Keith Roberts
