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 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 hand and show me what code, and 
exactly where to put within the base code. I can find function 
pci_enable_intx in sata_sis.c, but I don't have a clue as to what to do 
with it and since I wasn't using sata_sis, but the sis5513 driver when i 
could finally see the drives, I'm totally lost.
