A few thoughts here: a) It would appear the SiS's BIOS is imbedded in the system BIOS. Thus the SiS should always be the primary. b) Did you try each of the above cases after a fresh power-down/reboot? I suspect that if this is done, case 1 (HEAD/SiS) would produce the same results as case 3 (Debian/SiS). c) I see no evidence of crashes in these logs. Do you instead mean lockups? Does the SiS work by itself?
