Default 11.1 PPC: SATA card not activating

I have 11.1 installed on a PowerMac G4 (dual-800, quicksilver).

My PCI SATA card is detected, but hwinfo does not show that the driver is active. I have followed the instructions for activating the kernel module found here. Kernel module configuration - openSUSE

I haven't been able to get it to activate and show the drives.

Note: I use commandline only, can't get X to config properly for my vid card.

System info:

Suse 11.1 PPC
Linux linux-5rho 2.6.27.29-0.1-default #1 2009-08-15 17:53:59 +0200 ppc ppc ppc GNU/Linux

from lspci:
0001:10:12.0 RAID bus controller: Silicon Image, Inc. SiI 3512 [SATALink/SATARaid] Serial ATA Controller (rev 01)

module path:
/lib/modules/2.6.27.29-0.1-default/kernel/drivers/ata/sata_sil24.ko

from /etc/sysconfig/kernel
MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT="snd-powermac sata_sil24"

Link to info from HWinfo (ran in yast)

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!
