strange.. it's like the driver didn't recognize your chipset. According
to Jetway you have a 963L MuTIOL chipset which is afaik supported by the
driver.

Could you try the sis5113.c I've attached ? It's the same one as the one
submitted by Uwe. I only added some silly printks.

the sata_sis from the 2.6.11-12mdk is the same as the one on kernel.org.

I've configured the registers of the card when in pata mode but it's not
tested (I've only a SiS964L and SiS182 handy). I've only tested SATA
mode for SiS180 and SiS182.
