Well, if it's any help a kernel built Jan 29 works and the last one (Feb 16) 
doesn't. I notice a lot of commits in ata (some hourly). Work precludes me 
doing much until tonight or tomorrow. I'll see if I can nail it down a bit 
closer. The only change I see in dmesg from Jan 29 is the DVD is detected and 
atapicam has an entry as well.
