Hi folks,
I just obtained a new PCI SATA controller card that I was told was supported
by Linux, but it doesn't appear to match up with the expected device IDs I
see listed in the sata_sil or sata_sil24 drivers currently.
Does anyone have any knowledge about this device? e.g. is it a new Silicon
Image device, or perhaps I am mistaken and it's a really *old* one?
Here is the output of lspci -vvnn for the device, which captures as much info
as I know how to easily obtain. It would be really interested if someone
could tell me if this looks anything like a possible-to-support SI device, so
I know whether it's worth pursuing or not?

SIMG says there's no such device and it's probably bad hardware
(probably a 3512) with stuck bits in PCI ID. If you bought it, ask for
replacement.

It could also be a problem with his motherboard. I'd try it in a
different slot (or in a different machine) before returning the card
as bad.

Guys, thank you. Your suggestion about a stuck bit sounds reasonable, since I
couldn't find any indication of any device IDs from SI that matched... that's
why I originally assumed it was a new device (since the hardware is
supposedly fairly recent).
I will try this out in a different motherboard slot and if there's no luck
there see if I can get this card replaced.
Thank for the help, and hopefully I can get it working. =)

I've seen similar things from cards with dirty connectors.
A pencil eraser over the contacts made a similar problem I saw
with a tulip card disappear.

Just to follow up with this, I got another new SATA card (just in case) and
had another chance to take down the server in question and try to fix this.
I did some testing with the other card and other slots and it was definitely
the motherboard PCI slot that had problems.
A different card in the same slot failed, moving to a different slot with
the either card worked immediately. It's now shows up as I would have
expected. Whew!

Anyway, thanks everyone for your help.
