Reason: Adding info
Hardware using this driver: all ARECA SATA controllers.
Areca is a fairly new player on the SATA Hardware RAID market, but they offer unprecedented features and have excellent driver support for Linux. Their hardware supports RAID-6 in addition to the other levels, and online expansion + migration as well. The driver is in the main kernel as of 2.6.19, but debian supports it since etch (2.6.18).
No real clue about RAID, but it looks like there is no in tree support yet for the 18xx devices. There is the vendor driver (same driver but newer), but you'd need to get the system installed first, then chroot in and build the new driver.
As I said I don't know enough about RAID, whether you can disable it, use legacy mode, get the system and driver installed and then reboot, re-enable RAID, etc...? Someone else will know.
lspci uses a datebase to map between IDs and actual device names/descriptions. It looks like the database on your live system does not know what the device actually is. Can you try running lspci with the -Q (to query an external database) option?
