Silicon Integrated Systems (SiS) is a worldwide leading IC design company. The products have been widely applied in portable touch devices. We expect to offer more user centric and greener innovation to fulfill the vision of digital life. From host controller silicon and software solutions for desktops to workstations, servers and desktop systems, Marvell offers a range of Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) host controller silicon that incorporates industry-leading 6Gb/s SAS/Serial ATA (SATA) PHY technology and 5 GT/s PCI Express 2.0 (PCIe) PHY cores, which combine the best jitter performance and lowest per-port power consumption.

PC Pitstop - PC Performance Roots. PC Pitstop began in 1999 with an emphasis on computer diagnostics and maintenance. During the early days of the dot com boom, our online PC maintenance tools were skyrocketing.

Hi, trying to get a SIS180/181 SATA raid controller to work under Centos4 - 2.6.9-11.0.1 , but having troubles.
I have a Asus Vintage AE-1 barebones, Athlon 64 2800+ on a Asus K8S-MV/V with a SIS 965L chipset. There are (2) 300 GB Maxtor SATA drives attached. I'm pretty sure all that is fine, the SIS RAID controller in the bios sees both drives, and when I setup the RAID 1 mirror, seemed to clone them just fine in the bios.
First off, Centos4 seems to have a sis_sata module, but it doesn't seem to work correctly...

So it seems to know about the device on the pci bus, but the module never creates the device for me to mount.
I thought I'd just compile the 1.0.0 driver off SIS's website, I made sure to get the version that matched my Centos4 kernel:
[root@localhost ~]# uname -a

However it seems to be looking for two header files that haven't been in the kernel for some time:
[root@localhost sis18x_2.6.9_1.00.00]# make

I manually copied scsi.h to my build directory, and even found two older versions of scsi_obsolete.h and scsi_typedefs.h on the Internet and put them in my build directory (per the Makefile layout). It still would not build...
