Well that won't remove if from the initrd. You wold have to regenerate
the initrd afterwards.
The real problem appears to be that the SiS driver _does_ load, but
exits with an error, after which the ide-generic driver loads and
succeeds at running the ide controller. So the real problem is figuring
out why the SiS driver dies on this system.

The error from dmesg is this one:
SIS5513: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
SIS_IDE: probe of 0000:00:02.5 failed with error -1 <-- What is that?
Probing IDE interface ide0...
hda: ST3120022A, ATA DISK drive
So if anyone has seen that before or has suggestions (maybe bad BIOS
setting) I am sure the owner of the system would love to hear about it.
