Following up on the “Unknown devices on IBM servers” post, let me talk about a similar situation with HP machines (DL180 G6, in my case).
The device that Windows fails to identify is this one:
More info can be found by looking up the IDs in the pci.ids file (as I often do), or by means of the various “Unkown Device Identifier” type of software (e.g. this one). If you have a Linux machine at hand, such a one-liner may suit you:
8086 Intel Corporation
3a22 82801JI (ICH10 Family) SATA AHCI Controller
What’s missing is an Intel SATA driver; needless to say that you won’t find it anywere on HP site.
I downloaded and installed the Rapid Storage Technology Driver from Intel’s web site (here). A 280KB download named “STOR_all32_f6flpy_9.6.0.1014_PV.zip” fixed things up for me.
Maybe the proper thing to try would’ve been the latest (March 2010) Proliant Support Pack, but it’s a big download and I didn’t have the time. Also, the onboard SATA controller isn’t really used (the additional SAS RAID is, instead) and I just wanted to get rid of the yellow warning sign in Device Manager.
I usually go to htp://www.pcidatabase.com to search for unknown devices info…

Thanks Max, bookmark added.
In this post’s case the site isn’t very detailed, though. Searching for “3A22″ just returns a generic Intel “AHCI Controller”, not enough info to go hunting drivers…

Giuliano, you’re way more nerd than you look in real life. I’m glad to know your blog, I’ll quote you when I wanna frighten somebody from now on
Cheers

Ehi, don’t tell anybody, but these pages serve the sole purpose of tricking someone from abroad into hiring me.
Seriously though: I find your blog immensely more enjoyable than mine. And I guess I’ll take your comment as a compliment. 
ciao,
