You should try current.  I have these very chipsets on a board I have, and
the IDE support works great for PATA drives, haven't plugged in any SATA
drives I will admit, mind showing a dmesg so we can get an idea of how
old a kernel you are running/

It was suggested to me the SIS 190 is such a rare find that it might not be
worth the effort to support it.  I'll let others comment if this is
accurate or not.

Thanks,

| Hi,
| 
| I have a new PC with an Athlon 64 CPU, and SiS Chipsets. The SiS SATA
| Chip, and the SiS Onboard Ethernet Controller doesn't work on OpenBSD.
| The SATA-HDD works without DMA. I plugged in a PCI-Ethernet Card and an
| IDE HDD, but if any developer have interest to develop a driver for the
| SiS 190 Ethernet Controller, or the SiS 183 SATA Chip, I can provide SSH
| access to the machine for developing (including sudo-root access of
| course).
| 
| Full dmesg (after plugging in the extra ethernet card, but before using
| the IDE-HDD):

| 
| A FreeBSD driver for the SiS 190 ethernet card exists here:
