Thanks for the reply Mike. After some Googling and looking at my kernel config file, it seems that SIS support is a module, like so:
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIS5513=m
I found this link but can't find any of the files that it references

That message looks like the trick - the module doesn't have the right PCI id for some reason, assuming you have the same chip
You may not have the kernel source, if you can't find the file with locate. You'll need to fetch the kernel source first, then build a custom kernel with that line changed.
This issue came up with my laptop when I first got it - a Dell Latitude D800, it has an intel 5705M chipset that was supportable but had a new PCI id and so didn't work. The custom kernel was a bit of a pain, but it did work, and the patch made its way upstream really quickly. You can help that along by posting it to linux-kernel even, most likely (assuming it works)
If not, I will say that this is probably something that should be on linux-ide at this point, as it really has nothing to do with raid specifically other than this being a decent place to find folks trying to help. The linux-ide folks will be closer to the code you're working with so might be more capable

Thanks everyone for contributing. I very much appreciate the help. I'll bring this over to the linux-ide as Mike suggests
Again thanks Jay
