Okay, so the device was detected at boot.

The fact that the control device isn't being found makes me think it
isn't there at all.  I'm assuming that you're running a moderately
recent 4.x OS -- do you *have* a /dev/ata?  If not, what happens when
you rebuild it?  If so, what does its directory listing look like?
