I saw similar behaviour with STABLE when trying to use a CompactFlash card
on a CPU board that didn't support the default range of I/O ports. This might
not be the case you have, but I saw output just like that quoted above. The
ata device gets reported, but there is no 'ad' device following it like there
normally is.

In my case the solution was to use the I/O port range hidden in the manufacturer's
notes on their web site. Once I set the port range in /etc/pccard.conf to
override the default, the CompactFlash card worked fine.
