The thing that really bothers me is that there doesn't seem to be a
probe taking place at all.  A friend of mine is running an almost
identical configuration, except for using 2.1.0 instead of 2.1.5.  The
only difference in the config file seems to be an entry for 
ATAPI_STATIC
I tried adding that, and got no complaints from config, but it didn't seem
to help.  I'm hoping there's a software solution rather than a hardware
one.
