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.
The SiS180 has disabled the interrupts by default. You must enable the
interrupts in the PCI-config space.
You can find a function pci_enable_intx() in the sata_sis.c.

Well, now you've really lost me. I wasn't using sata_sis when I got
the drive to work with lost interrupts. I was using a patched sis5513
ide driver. So maybe I should just forget that and say that the
the sis5513 driver is the ide driver and sata_sis for sata/pata.
This much I know, but since the original sata_sis with 2.6.11 didn't see
the drives at all and the SIS sata_sis locked up the machine with a pata
drive atached, and I don't have any sata drives, I just tried patching
it, and it at least saw the drives and I could read and write to them,
but because of the lost interrrupts, it was realllll slow. I would much
prefer to get both sata and pata portion of it working with sata_sis if
possible.
machine locks up solid when I try and load sata_sis from
sis18x_2.6.10_1.00.00. So I really don't understand what you are
saying I need to do here. Remember, I'm not a C programmer and only
came here some months back to see if someone could fix this. I'm
willing to help in any way I can testing, but if you want me to patch
something or enable something, you're going to have to lead me by the
Even if it was not perfect as concern the pata support, you may also
test the patch I mailed.
What patch was this and for which sata_sis was it for and where do i get it.
