Well, I've had ata_piix loaded all along.
I don't have st_mod, however, I do have st.

When I load st, I don't get any /dev/st0 device with 2.6.31.

linux> lsmod | grep st
st                     31272  0
scsi_mod              136336  4 st,sg,libata,sd_mod

Might there be some other bug preventing st from detection the ATAPI tape drive?
