    I rebooted into the freshly installed 5.3 system and it worked
    perfectly. The upgrade went fine also. It was only upon booting into
    the 5.4 kernel that I had problems.

    It is. That should read "CDROM drive (master on ata1)".

    That's correct.

    I believe so. I'm not near that machine presently, but I know it found
    the ATA PCI controller because it was able to find the CDROM drive. I
    know it displayed a message saying "ata0: something or other". If it
    displayed anything (not an error) does that mean that ata0 was found
    then?
