I had a similar problem with my nForce 3 250G based board.  It turned
out to be due to the ide-generic kernel module being loaded before the
chipset specific driver.  Check your /etc/modules file and see if
ide-generic is being loaded, and if it is, remove it and replace the
line with your SIS5513 module.  I found I had to load my module before
ide-cd.
