I didn't read the original mail as "My ATAPI-CDROM isn't recognized when I booted 2.x.y." but more like "I read the READMEs and they looked the same, so nothing seems to have changed". Since, even on the 2.1.5 install disk some screens refer to 2.1.0, I think one can easily mislead by a casual look at the READMEs.
