I made the change as instructed.
#undef ATA_NDEBUG               /* define to disable quick runtime checks */
#define ATA_ENABLE_ATAPI                /* define to enable ATAPI support */
#undef ATA_ENABLE_PATA          /* define to enable PATA support in some

After rebooting I see the following with dmesg:
cloud:/home/hodges# dmesg | grep ata2
ata2: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x1C38 ctl 0x1C32 bmdma 0x1C18 irq 23
ata2: dev 0 cfg 49:0f00 82:0000 83:0000 84:0000 85:0000 86:0000 87:0000 
88:101f
ata2: dev 0 ATAPI, max UDMA/66
ata2: dev 0 configured for UDMA/66

So it looks like the drive is seen as I only have the one SATA device.  
My question is how do I mount it?  I'm not seeing ata2 in /dev or 
anything that looks like it would work.
