Problem with module sata_sis
Hello.
I first apologize for my english, i am not a specialist ;-)
I've got a computer with motherboard foxconn sis6627 MA and sata hard disk.
The chipset for sata is sis966 and sis966L. With a lspci command, it appears
like an unknow device 1183 (or 1184, 1185, it depends on my bios settings), us

I used mandriva to test, and my sata hard disk was recognized ! The module is
sata_sis also, but not the same as debian's one, it includes the device 1183.
I downloaded the source on the sis site and hoped making my own sata_sis.ko
file :
apt-get install linux-header-mykernelversion build-essentials, then i follow the
instructions of the sata_sis.c file author
Unfortunately, a file was missing : scsi/scsi_request.h
I founded it on internet (i hope it's the good one) and try making again. But
make gave me the following message:

I don't know if sis_request.h is the good one (but why debian doesn't got it ?),
i don't known if i got all files to make the sata_sis.ko.
Could you help me ?
(It may be good idea to include the module in the installer.)
Thanks so much, long time seeking, i am a bit tired (and desesparate).
