I'm not sure how or to which sata_sis.c file to apply this. I've got the 
one that came with the above kernel, and then I've got the one I 
downloaded from SIS that locks up the system when a pata drive is 
installed on the sis180. The first was simple enough, just replaced the 
original sis5513.c and recompiled the kernel. Don't know what to do with 
this one.

message and the code is greek to me.
