My guess is that the SIS driver doesn't work well as a secondary
card (that is the one the bios didn't POST).
If you can change something in the motherboard bios to get the
SIS card to be the primary (the one the console comes up on), that
may help.
Also, you might want to see if you can get the SIS card to
come up all by it self as the only card. Just as a sanity
check to make sure it actually works with any drivers.
