Similar issue here... my DVD drive disappeared in 2.6.15-git1 because

Jan  5 17:15:12 sandman kernel: Kernel command line: ro root=/dev/sda6
libata.atapi_enabled=1 rhgb
Jan  5 17:15:12 sandman kernel: Unknown boot option

This works:

Seems in both cases the "module.option=value" syntax is broken,
 whereas the simple "option=value" works.
