Try adding sata_sil into your initrd? You can do this manually with 
extra options to the mkinitrd command, or automatically by adding it 
into your /etc/modprobe.conf; mine has these lines in it:

alias scsi_hostadapter pata_marvell
alias scsi_hostadapter1 ahci

You'll still need to run mkinitrd after editing /etc/modprobe.conf this 
time, but at least when you update your kernel and a new initrd is made 
for it, it will automatically include sata_sil.

Cheers,

John.
