Subject: Hard drive not seen by mount when booting using busybox/initrd under 2.6.27-2-generic (Ubuntu)

I get the messages below during the setup of the drives on my machine.
 Is the kernel failing to set up my drives correctly?  One clue is
that it looks as though perhaps BOTH pata_acpi and ata_piix are trying
to handle the hard drives interface???  I am also puzzled by the line
"sda:<6>ata5.00: ATAPI: Optiarc DVD RW AD-7530A", which seems to
indicate that sda is somehow getting confused with my DVD-RW drive.

I get a similar problem when I compile and test a 2.6.27-rc6 kernel.
The only difference is that I also see a message saying that my
modules cannot be found before the mount error occurs.

I tried mounting partitions from my drive from the command line and
all attempts gave the same error:  "device not found".
