You will need an extremely bleeding edge kernel for that... or you will have
to patch a kernel that supports ICH7 with the following patch:

http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0601.2/0627.html

ICH8 will be officially supported by Linux only on 2.6.16 :-P

If the above patch works, I highly suggest you open a wishlist bug against
the kernel packages asking for its inclusion.
