I rebooted into the freshly installed 5.3 system and it worked perfectly. The upgrade went fine also.

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
