Default Can't get Cardbus SATA card to work with Slack 10.1

I've got a Silicon Image 3512-based Cardbus SATA card, to which I'm
attaching some Seagate 7200.8 drives. They show up under Windows,
but, despite using the latest patches to libata for sata_sil, although
the card is seen and sata_sil is loaded (dmesg shows it as being
recognized), the attached drives are never seen.

I've seen elsewhere that people have gotten 3512-based PCI cards
to work allright, but perhaps in this Cardbus form they don't work
properly.

Has anyone used one of these beasties and gotten it to work with Slack 10.1?

From what I can tell, going to a 2.6 kernel might solve the problem.
Any luck there?
