sata_sis on Ubuntu 5.10

Hi Uwe,

I have been unsuccessfully trying to get Linux to work with my SATA disk 
on my ASUS Vintage AE-1 barebone machine.

I have posted to the ASUS support site (see 
http://vip.asus.com/eservice/techmailstatus.aspx?ID=WTM200601212130302557), 
and am still waiting for a reply.
For more background on the problem, please see the attached message 
which I sent to the ubuntu-users mailing list - which did not produce 
any answers. 
The BIOS can see the SATA disk, but Linux does not!
If I type "lsmod | grep -i ata" it returns nothing (no 'ata' drivers 
loaded). If I type 'locate sata_sis', it finds 2 copies, so I assume it 
should be OK if I load the drivers with modprobe:

    mobprobe sat_sis
    modprobe ata

"lsmod | grep -i ata" now shows them loaded, but what do I do next?  the 
devices /dev/sd* are not present, so I cannot access the disk. Am I 
missing a step?
I tried to build the driver from the sources provided on the CD with the 
machine, but it would not build (filesystem layout differences between 
Fedora and Debian??).

Anyway, please help!

Any pointers/info/etc would be gratefully received.

Thanks,

- Chris

Hi - I've recently bought an ASUS Vintage-AE1 bare bone system and 
installed Breezy Badger on it.  All aspects of the system work fine 
except the SATA disk which is recognised by the BIOS, but not seen at 
all by Ubuntu.  The BIOS supports the following configuration options 
for the onboard PCI SATA Controller:

    * disabled
    * native
    * RAID by ROM

None of these seem to help.

I have checked the mailing list and searched the Ubuntu bugzilla but 
have had no joy.

The system chipset is the SIS 760GX and supports Serial ATA RAID.
The disk is a MAXTOR 6L250S0 250Gb drive.

Frustratingly, if I boot from a Tom's Root Boot CD, the disk is visible 
as /dev/hde, so I know it does work!  I am assuming that Ubuntu is 
either not loading the correct driver or having a problem initialising 
it.  I attach the dmesg bootlog from Ubuntu.

Please can anyone advise?


Thanks
Chris
