cannot boot system built today

[Lee Harr]

Wanting to test the -RC, I ran through the updating procedure this evening,
but I am unable to boot the resulting kernel. The system hangs trying to
detect something with the disks...

This is one of those troublesome nvidia chipset A7N8X motherboards.

I do not have a serial console set up, but here are the last few lines of
a verbose boot... if I need to set up a serial line for more from the
verbose boot, let me know...  I can easily post a regular dmesg from
my working kernel (built from March 5th sources) if that will help.

(probe2:ata1:0:0:0): INQUIRY.CDB: 12 1 80 0 ff 0
(probe2:ata1:0:0:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0
(probe2:ata1:0:0:0): Invalid field in CDB
(probe2:ata1:0:0:0): TEST UNIT READY.CDB: 0 0 0 0 0 0
(probe2:ata1:0:0:0): NOT READY asc:3a,0
(probe2:ata1:0:0:0): medium not present
(probe2:ata1:0:0:0): INQUIRY.CDB: 12 1 80 0 ff 0
(probe2:ata1:0:0:0): ILLEGAL REQUEST asc:24,0
(probe2:ata1:0:0:0): invalid field in CDB

at this point it stops.
