I rebooted into the freshly installed 5.3 system and it worked perfectly. The upgrade went fine also. It was only upon booting into the 5.4 kernel that I had problems. > > Further investigation found that it wasn't able to find the ATA HDD > > (master on ata0) at all, but could find the ATAPI CDROM drive > > (master on ata0). > You shouldn't have two masters on ata0. I hope that's a typo. It is. That should read "CDROM drive (master on ata1)". > How far through the boot process do you get?

I'm not near that machine presently, but I know it found the ATA PCI controller because it was able to find the CDROM drive. I know it displayed a message saying "ata0: something or other". If it displayed anything (not an error) does that mean that ata0 was found then? - Tim
