Yes.

To be sure I have rebooted my PC some minutes ago, booted the
monolithic image in expert mode, switched to con2, and ran
'discover -d': The SI3512 was listed. I got a similar output
as for running discover within my usual desktop environment:

Thats easy: If I don't run 'modprobe sata-sil' on console 2,
then the partition tool doesn't list my harddisk. The PCI
ID is in pci.lst, discover lists the SI3512 (as shown above),
so I would say that discover is innocent.

Did you note my installation report saying that d-i listed
a lot of IDE controllers? None of them (except ide-generic)
matched the hardware.
