I have got the link from MSi for your driver here it is...

http://downloads.viaarena.com/drivers/RAID/VIA_RAID_Linux_V100.zip
and the readme i assume is in the zip file, could see it on the site

http://www.viaarena.com/?PageID=297#raid

You may need to make a driver disk for your installation
Just boot your discs with the linux expert option and follow
instructions to use it...

Cheers
