Hello Jeff,
currently it exists 3 variants to support the SiS182 Chipset
- use SiS182 with the code from SiS180, only add the PCI-ID to the driver
- the source code from OSDL
- the source code from www.sis.com
Actually i have no SiS board available. So i have no chance to maintain
the driver.

Hi,
I got recently a motherboard shipped with the SATA SIS 182 chipset. This
chipset is not supported by the kernel. I tried to just add the PCI IDS
in the supported chipset list as suggested on some mails in this
list but it didn't work for the hard drive connected on the second sata port.
I found that this has been reported on
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4192. Unfortunately the patch
didn't apply to the recents kernel. So, I've written a new minimal patch that
add support for this chipset.
It works well on the machine I have with a 2.6.12.5 kernel but I was not
able to test it on SIS 180/181 chipset (I don't have the hardware).
imho having support for this chipset in the kernel could be usefull, so
any feedback/comments are welcome.

I've got a Jetway S755MAX that also has a real SIS180 onboard and have
been trying to get PATA support for it without any luck for several
months now. The sata_sis driver from SIS just locks up the machine when
I attach a pata drive. With the help of a few here, I patched the
sis5513 driver, but it has lost interrupt problems. I basically gave up
on this ever working a couple of months ago. Do you think there's any
hope at all? I'm willing to try whatever some can point me towards, but
I'm not a C programmer. I can compile kernels though and follow
instructions.
