This can be fixed by booting into a recovery console, mounting the disk, adding 'arcmsr' to /etc/mkinitramfs/modules, and running dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-`uname -r`.

+! Management interface
+
+Get the Areca web interface from [Areca's FTP site|ftp://ftp.areca.com.tw/RaidCards/AP_Drivers/Linux/HTTP/].
+
+<pre>
+wget ftp://ftp.areca.com.tw/RaidCards/AP_Drivers/Linux/HTTP/20060321-1.71.200Beta.zip
+unzip 20060321-1.71.200Beta.zip
+cd 20060321-1.71.200
+cp archttp32 /usr/local/sbin/
+</pre>
+
+If you just want to fire up the web interface right away, go ahead and run it - but remember to run it w/ root privileges (ie: 'sudo archttp32/64'). Areca will *not* remind you about the root privileges and will silently fail to find the controllers.
+
+I have created this init script, with help from [Gentoo's wiki page on Areca hardware|http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Areca]:
+
+<pre>
+#! /bin/sh
+
+PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
+DAEMON=/usr/local/sbin/archttp32
+NAME=archttp32
+DESC="Areca RAID controller management interface"
+
+test -x $DAEMON || exit 0
+
+. /lib/lsb/init-functions
+
+set -e
+
+case "$1" in
+ start)
+ log_begin_msg "Starting $DESC..."
+ start-stop-daemon --start --quiet -b -m --pidfile /var/run/$NAME.pid \
+ --exec $DAEMON -- $DAEMON_OPTS 2>/dev/null || log_end_msg 1
+ log_end_msg 0
+ ;;
+ stop)
+ log_begin_msg "Stopping $DESC..."
+ start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile /var/run/$NAME.pid \
+ -s INT --exec $DAEMON --oknodo || log_end_msg 1
+ sleep 5
+ log_end_msg 0
+ ;;
+ restart|force-reload)
+ log_begin_msg "Restarting $DESC..."
+ start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --exec $DAEMON --pidfile \
+ /var/run/$NAME.pid --oknodo
+ sleep 6
+ start-stop-daemon --start -m -b --quiet --pidfile \
+ /var/run/$NAME.pid --exec $DAEMON -- $DAEMON_OPTS || log_end_msg 1
+ log_end_msg 0
+ ;;
+ *)
+ N=/etc/init.d/$NAME
+ # echo "Usage: $N {start|stop|restart|force-reload}" >&2
+ echo "Usage: $N {start|stop|restart|force-reload}" >&2
+ exit 1
+ ;;
+esac
+
+exit 0
+</pre>
+
+Then, set it to run on start with:
+
+<pre>
+update-rc.d archttp32 defaults
+</pre>
+
+If you're on 64-bit Linux, replace all instances of 32 above with 64 (the zip file comes with both).
+
+I have yet to find out if you can make the card send e-mail or other alerts in the case of a failure. If anyone knows, please edit this page!
