I've given up on the Highpoint Rocket 1540 card:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg209799.html (lklm thread).
I contacted HPT's tech support and they mentioned there isn't a driver
available yet (even though it says "Linux Supported!" right on the
box...). They don't know when it will be released and noted it will be
at least partially binary.
So I've moved on to the Adaptec card (only card I could find with a SiL
chipset). I'd rather use a 3114 card as I need 4 ports, but I couldn't
find any info on support/cards using that chipset.
The current problem is that the SiL3112 keeps throwing 'lost interrupt'
messages. I've tried DMA off/on all with no luck. Here is the relevant
output from dmesg:

Is there anything else I can do to get this card working? Or another
sata card *verified* working under 2.4.2x?
Thanks,

I get the same problem with this card. It takes my machine 90
minutes to reboot -- 30 to shut down, and 60 to restart, due to the
LVM tools scanning all of my drives. I've got a 120Gb SATA drive which
is just dead weight in this machine, I can't use it at all because of
these problems.
Can anybody say exactly what the problem is, and how we might go
about fixing it? I haven't even seen anyone just saying "it's not
frobbing the foobar properly -- you need to get the docs from SiI to
work out why".

I have been told by someone that the SIIG cards (with SiI3112A
chips) work under Linux. I can't confirm this, though.
