It doesn't know about SiS 5591 PCI IDE controller, the wdc controller knows. I'm speaking about boot messages, nothing else. Furthermore the wdc driver sets up UDMA mode on my UDMA capable disks, ata driver doesn't. It claims that busmastering DMA is supported and sets up WDMA2 mode instead, I think it's normal as it currently doesn't know about 5591. The WDMA2 isn't really that bad and otherwise I'm using ata driver quite happily.
