Yes it does see the raid disks fine, someone suggested seeing if things will 
boot from that controller, and I pulled /dev/hda, and put it on the raid 
controller by it self, and it did start to boot (till it didnt find a file 
system on hda!
I have tested the hardware under windows, and it does function. so im pretty 
sure its not a hardware failure.

Things Ive done recently:
Lots of kernels, 2.6.10, 2.6.9 mostly. 
Tried lilo append lines: hd?=noprob, noacpi, ...
tried hooking a bootable hard drive on the raid controller, and booted system.

Ive tried the kernel option for ide drives on ide raid controllers. ive tried 
sata_sis. 
Ive tried gen2dmraid, gentoo, slackware, knopppix cd's
Ive pulled the raid drives out, if had them in as a raid (in the bios), and as 
regular disks...

one thing remains consistant. I cant boot, I cant seem to find disks that are 
on the sis 180 raid controller.

when the output of ataraid changes, then I will see devices.
