Some module required by the sis5513 is not included in your initrd.

You need to figure out what module(s) this is, and add them to
/etc/mkinitrd/modules, so that they will be included on the next initrd.

1. Boot your old kernel
2. use lsmod to check what modules are loaded, and what modules sis5513 uses
3. Add the missing modules to /etc/mkinitrd/modules
4. run mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd-2.6.11-11-4tr.img 2.6.11-11-4tr
5. Reboot your new kernel.


This situation happened because we changed the module compilation of the
kernel.

Use the original kernel and do the steps I prescribed. You should be
fine.
