That's what I first thought, too.

Ah, I didn't know that.

pata_jmicron is being loaded and does indeed seem to find the PATA
interfaces. Other modules needed for access to the drive like cdrom
and sg are not being loaded. I just tried to modprobe all modules that
were autoloaded with bpo.1 but not with bpo.2, until the lists of
loaded modules were identical aside from their order.
I have uploaded the dmesg outputs from bpo.1 and bpo.2 here:

One obvious difference is that the ata interfaces seem to be
initialised in a different order. The PATA interfaces are ata1/ata2
with bpo.1 and ata9/ata10 with bpo.2.
Thank you very much for your time,
Jim
