I don't know about DPT and for mine I transfered a completely installed system
with 2.6.12 kernel (from unstable) from onboard SATA to LSI RAID (using a
Live CD like knoppix I think ... or was it another disk with fresh install?).

Er, I currently only have acces to a machine with 2.6.8-9-amd64-k8-smp
running, it uses the tg3 driver which says :
eth0: Tigon3 [partno(BCM95704A7) rev 2003 PHY(5704)] (PCIX:100MHz:64-bit)
10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet 00:e0:81:xx:xx:xx
Somebody pointed to an installer image (netinstall) with 2.6.12 kernel in this
list. You might want to search for it in the archive.
