Hi Jim,
the sata_sis is running without slave support in the versions from
kernel.org. That is ok if you are using
a SiS964 and 965L chip. The SiS 965, SiS180 and SiS966 needs a slave
support.
The attached patch against 2.6.18 should help.
feedback, log and output of lspci -vvxxx are welcome.
regards
Uwe Koziolek
