I am just making a stab in the dark here, but I am guessing all of the subsequent errors are derived from the first error of not finding the viamraid module. A quick internet search leads me to suspect that this is a binary only driver that you must download. You might try doing your own internet search and see what you find.

If you need to post back, you should tell us what kind of hardware you are using, what distro you are using, etc.
