Our new SIS based AMD desktop systems come with a very new SIS chipset that has a Serial ATA controller that has the device ID 0x182. Without this patch the system won't be able to use the hard disk in native mode. As a proof of concept we patched the kernel on a system with an older SIS chipset and then transfered the hard disk to the new system, looks like the new chipset is compatible enough to run without problems.
