It is probably not possible to run that chipset with sata using 2.4 kernels at all. You may even need a very recent 2.6 kernel to get support. Many people have had problems with sata module loading/detection with 2.6.8 while 2.6.10/2.6.11 are doing much better. You could try 'modprobe sata_sis' from console 2 during the install to see if that module exists and if so if it detects anything. Do it from a 2.6 install (linux26 at boot: prompt on sarge i386 installs, just normal on amd64 install since it only uses 2.6 kernels). I have only tried nvidia, via and sil3112 sata controllers myself, and so far no problems. The via (A8V-Deluxe) detected perfectly with the debian-pure64 sarge net install cd from a few weeks ago.
