I've been producing Areca/CentOS driver RPM packages since early 4.0 days:

Might be a little easier to keep updated with yum.
As for booting, provided the kernel driver is in the initrd for the
kernel, it will work fine as a boot volume, (the same as all of the
other storage controllers). As long as you have the line:
alias scsi_hostadapter arcmsr
in /etc/modprobe.conf, the driver will get included by mkinitrd. My
package will check for this on install.
I need to upload the latest versions, but they Work For Me so far.
