Heh.. Thanks for the tip, yes, I did enable the raid support for raid-0, and 
the devicemapper. I changed it to in the kernel (was module), and recompiled 
my kernel/modules/initrd/lilo... heres my current dmesg:

So, If you look at my dmesg below ... just below:
libata version 1.10 loaded.
You will see where the sis 180 controller should be displaying my hard 
disks...

as a reference, heres a link to a person with a different problem, but you can 
see his drives are found.
