Well potato is archived so the mirrors no longer carry it. The debian
archives does, but it is not of any interest to most people. Woody
(3.0) is also archived.
Did you try both 2.4 and 2.6 kernel with sarge (3.1)? I am not sure
what the netraid controller is although it is somewhat unusual for
something to work with something as old as potato and then not work with
a newer release. It does happen I guess at least for hardware that is
not very common anymore.
