After upgrading from 2.6.26.5 to 2.6.27.4, my DVD drive started having problems during boot time. Here is the relevant part from dmesg:
ata2: SATA link up 1.5 Gbps (SStatus 113 SControl 300)

[continue ad inifitum....]The drive is reported as "HL-DT-ST DVD+/-RW GSA-T11N, A103", connected to an nVidia MCP51 controller. Googling around, I found similar complaints in the past for other nVidia controllers using the sata_nv driver (though I couldn't find anything about the MCP51). I tried compiling the version of sata_nv that comes with 2.6.26.5, but that did not solve my problems.
I can provide further details if necessary.

This might/might not help. After upgrading to 2.6.27, both my wireless card and nvidia drivers failed. I ran "depmod" as root in the console and now everything runs. Might want to give that a try.
