"Unknown device" means that lspci cannot find the vendor:device
combination in its database (/usr/share/misc/pci.ids.gz). You can update
this database by running "update-pciids" as root. However, it seems that
VIA's 0x5372 device is so far not included in the database at all:
http://pci-ids.ucw.cz/iii/?i=1106
(If your documentation contains a reliable model name and number then
you can add this information to the online database yourself.)
Nevertheless, I think that the newest sata_via module supports the
controller already, since its device ID is included in sata_via.c:
{ PCI_VDEVICE(VIA, 0x5372), vt6420 },
The vt6420 IDs were added to the driver on 2007-05-25, so you will
probably have to upgrade your kernel if you are running standard Etch
(which was released on 2007-04-08 and frozen for a while before that
already). You could check out www.backports.org; I think they have
2.6.22 kernel packages available for installation on Etch systems.
