I've had multiple reports of this. I would recommend you use the libata driver. IT821x hasn't changed over the past few releases so its someting in the core IDE code that broke it [note it might not of course be that the problem is in the core code..].
I have no plans at this point to debug the old IT821x driver due to time constraints, and if anyone wants to have a crack at debugging this and fixing it go for it.
BTW: I also note you have the controller in smart mode but are not using the hardware raid functions. In that situation it generally runs faster (and does CD-ROM) if you flash the ATAPI firmware to the controller or boot with the noraid option "it8212.noraid=1"
