Hi,
(Please CC me in any responses)
There are some weirdness going on with SiS IDE/Pata/Sata support...

After moving from a 2.6.17 based kernel with ide dupport built in to a
2.6.22-rc7-git4 based kernel with fully modular ide/pata/sata we see the
following problem on a system with ide disks:

If you modprobe sata_sis:
(it also pulls pata_sis, is that really intended)
- both disks are detected ok

If you modprobe sata_sis/pata_sis and then sis5513:
(it also pulls pata_sis, is that really intended)
- both disks are detected ok

If you modprobe only sis5513
OR
If you modprobe only sis5513 and then sata_sis/pata_sis:
- you get this:
(the hdb drive does not get detected/usable)

kernel config is here:
http://tmb.kkc.fi/Kernels/Cooker/BUG/SiS/config

and Mandriva Installer bug report here:
http://tmb.kkc.fi/Kernels/Cooker/BUG/SiS/report.bug

Note! this report is from a 2.6.22-tmb-desktop586-0.rc7.1mdv
Mandriva Cooker Contrib kernel wich is 2.6.22-rc7-git1 wich has several
patches including CFS, HRT, and several other patches (but none of them
touching ide/pata/sata)...

But we got the exact same behaviour with a clean 2.6.22-rc7-git4 +
Squashfs-3.2-r2 (needed for the installer)

http://tmb.kkc.fi/Kernels/Cooker/i586/kernel-linus-2.6.22-0.rc7.3mdv-1-1mdv2007.1.i586.rpm

Any pointers of what/how to fix ?
