Hallo,
according to linux-2.6.4/Documentation/ide.txt :
"idex=noprobe" : do not attempt to access/use this interface
SuSEs inofficial 2.6.4-0 kernel ( precompiled from rpm) comes with
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIIMAGE=y
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_SIL=m
Trying to use the sata_sil driver for my sil3112 controler I did give
ide4=noprobe ide5=noprobe hdi=noprobe hdj=noprobe hdk=noprobe hdl=noprobe
on the kernel commandline
The Bootup- messages show:

Why is the SIL3112 taken over by the siimage driver ?
Did I misinterpret ide.txt, is ide.txt wrong or is this a bug ?
hdi=noprobe seems to work however. The attached SATA disk doesn't show up.
And it does show up if I leave out hdi=noprobe.
Is there any chance to use sata_sil with that kernel configuration ?
Or is recompiling with CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SIIMAGE=m or with siimage disabled the
only option ?

It is not a bug - siimage driver is compiled in and PCI device is detected.
It has nothing to do with "idex=noprobe" or "hdx=noprobe".

Yep.
