1/ SiS5571 is not in the lookup table used to find the chipset 
capabilities. That shouldn't pose problem as from what I could gather 
from the web this is a basic EIDE chipset (ATA16 support only) and every 
unknown chipset is configured as an ATA16 capable chipset.

2/ timings might be messed up because of the FSB used (75MHz instead of 
66MHz) on your configuration.

If you can, underclock your mainboard to 66MHz and see what happens. If 
it solves your problem, then dynamically computing timings from the FSB 
(in my TODO list but behind ATA133 support) will eventually solve your 
problem. Until then you could modify the timings by hand (I could 
provide you a patch for your specific configuration).
